Just thought I would leave this here. Recently Firefox has gotten slow to the point that I had stopped logging on to NS. Firefox kept crashing and in was screwing up other programs as well. Finally I found this:

It fixed the problem for me. Also went onto Mozilla plugin checker and made sure that I had the latest versions:

I found the info on this forum.

Anyway, this was driving me nuts and now it is tons better. Hope it helps others with the same problem.

and E; I tried Chrome but didn't like it very much. Firefox has worked great until just recently. Not sure whether it was a problem with firefox or a windows 7 update. A lot of people are having issues with it. If it keeps sucking I will try Chrome again. Thanks for the suggestion.

Chrome just bothers me so much. Also, Adblock is the fucking shit on FF.
