When I'm using Firefox to look at my email on www.hotmail.com, I notice that sometimes, when I click link for the next email or click on a link in the email, Firefox and my computer will crash and I will get the blue screen. I have also noticed this happening on www.espn.com, when I'm adjusting my lineup for fantasy baseball. I could be clicking on a link or a player and firefox and my computer will crash and I get blue screen. Also, I have noticed when adjusting my lineup for fantasy baseball on yahoo, firefox and my computer will crash and I get blue screen after trying to click on a button or link on the webpage. The blue screen usually has the error message that the "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" in the upper left corner of the screen. When I'm on www.wccftech.com, I notice that it takes a long time after you click on a story to get to the news story on the website or to go back to home page after reading the news story. I will get a grey box sometimes indicating that the script is still running. I click on the stop button to try and stop the script. Otherwise, firefox will hang and freeze up. Also, I will sometimes get a box towards the top indicating that Adobe flash plugin has crashed and needs to be reloaded.

Did Firefox crash, or the computer?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?


Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
