I had no trouble until this evening when there was an update. When I go to a website (I have tried a few) the home page opens. When a try to open another page on the site I get the hourglass and Firefox stops responding. I have to close it using Task Manager and use Opera or Mousie instead. This started this evening. I was only offered a message to Microsoft.

Not really a reply just some more info. Task Manager shows two identical instances of FF. Both close when you try to remove one. I decided to try reinstalling - Add/remove could not remove FF. The reason - it must have been uninstalled already!!!

This problem seems to have gone away. I stopped using Firefox altogether for some time. I have recently started using it again and, so far, it does not do this anymore.
