Upgraded to 16 after 15 started locking up (almost, actually INCREDIBLY S L O W). 16 locks up worse... removed firefox from PC & cleaned up the systems as best I could. Tried a clean install of 16. same thing.

Re-cleaned up and removed FF v16. Loaded v15. Worked for about a minute. Now the same.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Tried that... under 16 wouldn't even pull down the menu.

Having uninstalled adobe flash from my pc seems to have helped for now...

but I've got to have flash player.
