    Anyone else getting Firefox freezing alot , its only started happening the past 2 days , nothing new has been installed , no new updates or anything , When i disable the google toolbar it happens less regularly however it does still happen.

    Ive also uninstalled and reinstalled all FF plugins and ran a full spyware scan but the system is clean, also cleared cache , cookies with no success.

    Any ideas ?

    I stopped using Firefox a while back now, changed to Google Chrome, much better!

    Found the problem , it was actually some malware which had infected the java console , slowing everything down , the only thing that picked it up was hijackthis , which after that had found it Nod suddenly cleaned up the rest .

    Chrome is good but i like the tools that Firefox offer , i feel dirty with out my tools

    I have to say I've had some very good reviews about Google Chrome, my business partner swears by it although i've never used it. I don't like the look of it

    Yeah ive heard some good things , mainly that its faster than shite off a shovel. If only it had the something like FF's Firebug i would use it but Firebug saves me so much time that chrome being a couple of milliseconds faster really doesnt entice me

    It would be great if Google Chrome have add-on like in Firefox. The reason why I use Firefox it is because of its free add-on.
