I have installed Firefox & it starts to put up the Home page for the first time, then the program FREEZES UP. The only thing I can do then is shut down the program.

I have re-installed Firefox 3 or 4 times. I have deleted Firefox program before re-installing Firefox. Nothing I have tried seems to work, it has the same problem.

Hi dasher,

The Knowledge Base article Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix has a lot of really good troubleshooting steps. You should be able to find a resolution there.

Hopefully this helps!
