Firefox freezes up, drops my internet connection, disables important windows .exe files...Help?
If I go to my gaming websites (pogo and gamehouse); facebook; yahoo messenger; depressiontribe.com; and a few other sites; after about 30 minutes, firefox locks up, taking my internet connection, and several windows *.exe files along with it (tskmgr.exe is one) and once reconnected to the internet, I cannot send a crash report. Just gives error message that report could not be sent. I run Windows XP Professional on a Dell laptop with Viper (Sunbelt) All in one virus and internet protection which scans nightly and so far no threats have shown up. I have tried disabling all the plugin's and addon's and that just made it where firefox would not load at all. I have updated my Adobe Flash Player, Shockwave Player, deleted and re-set up my internet/network connections....I do not know what to do now. Very frustrated...please help?

Hello Carolyn,
I apologize for the inconvenience!
Please go to: Start -> All Programs -> Mozilla Firefox -> Then please run: Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). This will use default settings and disable any add-on's. After you have done so, please re-attempt at going to the sites and playing the apps that previously gave you trouble. Does it continue in safe mode?
If it doesn't, your problem is solved. That means that either your settings are corrupt or you have installed an add-on that is in-complaint with the version of Firefox you are using.
Under the Mozilla folder I do not have anything listed as Firefox (safe mode)? Should I again remove firefox and reinstall? I have done this twice already and am running the most current version you have (3.6.8).
