    Is anyone else having problems with Firefox? My firefox windows freeze all the time, while internet explorer works perfectly. My friend has a 1521 with Vista, and he has the same problem. If you have this problem too, is there a solution?

    Thanks.

    I'd post the question in the FF forum but I don't have any problems with FF and Vista 32 bit or 64. A lot of times its an extension that causes freezes. Do you and your friend have any of the same extensions installed. Also try starting FF in safe mode and see if you have the problem. But I'd try disabling extensions and see if that is the cause.

    Try downloading the newest version and adding script blocker. It's a vista plug-in complication...
