    Crashing for anyone else? I'm experiencing full system lockup with firefox 10. not sure if its related to flash or if someone can point me in the right direction, but as it stands right now after uninstalling flash player and firefox, i did a restart and re-installed FF10 to see if i still get the same issue.

    Not a single problem here. Using Firefox 10 FTW + Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit + Kaspersky Internet Security + Adobe Flash Player for IE + Firefox (since I use the IE Tab) + Sun Java Runtime Environment 64 bit + 32 Bit

    I suggest you format your PC

    addons installed are adblock, cleo, download statusbar, febe, firegestures, and webmail notifier. also, i'm not going through and formatting my pc considering i've formatted it countless times in the past month due to various things, most recently 2 days ago. this is my desktop i'm talking about btw.

    uninstall all the add-ons buddy, just keep ad-block plus as I know that is compatible with FF 10 for sure, then try again, if you notice that the problem did go away after you have uninstalled the Add-ons, then start reinstalling them again one by one, testing, to find out which add-on is causing the slow downs

    mods can close this thread as i figured it out. the issue wasnt with firefox, but rather my hard drive that is going to @#$% because of corrupt/bad sectors causing the system to hang as i'm copying the files over to my new hard drive so i can send this one in for RMA.

    Sounds a little drastic. With well over 100 programs I'd rather switch browsers
