Firefox issues

[NickHouston]

Hey guys,

So whenever I input anything into firefox (forum posts, youtube search, facebook posts, etc) it freezes for about 10-20 seconds and I can't do anything. It stops any video I'm streaming and I have to wait until it unfreezes to continue watching/doing whatever I was doing.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!
Nick

Check any loaded plugins and disable them.

Get a new browser. I ditched Firefox ages ago. It's slow and clunky , IMO.

A ton of people have been complaining about the latest update. I use Comodo Dragon, an offshoot of Chrome with better security and speed.

I think Pale Moon is a good Firefox offshoot, but I'm not sure.

Use Google Chrome, Nick. It's darn fast!

You don't store your passwords anywhere other than your browser?

Other than the ones I memorize, no. I did have them on an iPhone app but every time I would sync my phone it would erase all my data in the app.

If you click the Orange Firefox button, then Options, then Security, you can see a button called "Saved Passwords". click this and you will be able to see the passwords Firefox has saved on your PC.

Bred, teaching PC 101!

Since my PC isn't shared with anyone, i create notepad DOC's for my passwords. You can also use http://keepass.info/
