Firefox

Since I went into Firefox extensions and deleted that folder that is mentioned in the link I posted above, it has not crashed on me once. Highly unusually. Just wonder how long that folder has been there. I never downloaded it so I'm not sure how it got there. The man in the link I posted also said the same thing. I'd encourage anyone with Firefox problems to read what the man says in his update at the bottom of the link and do what he did. So far it has worked for me.

I also deleted that folder. I've crashed 1 time since then. No biggie though compared to the constant crashing before! I need to go back in and see if the folder is back.

I have always been a Mac user. I've never gotten a virus. Especially when the bf goes on those "adult" sites, those are hotbeds for getting viruses. I joke around saying if you get a virus from those sites, your computer got an STD from them. LOL Bro in law has a pc and always has viruses from those sites.

that being said, it's just a matter of time till more and more people get macs, and the virus writers will target us as well.

I have been using safari on my mac. The new version of firefox is slowing down my ibook b/c it's an older one, i don't think it can support v3.

I like Firefox, but it is horribly slow on some of the forums I post on so I have to use IE for those. But surfing is fine and I've not gotten viruses from Firefox.

Hope you can get it all figured out.

Lol, I've tried but I just can't convince 4doggiemama to to keep off those "adult" sites.
