I had one system that would give a gray screen for long periods when using firefox. A memory upgrade to 256mb fixed that problem.

Also try adding the no-script addon to firefox (tools > add on), that stops java and other scripts from automatically running.

Try installing anther browser, sea monkey, chrome etc...

Intellectual property can stimulate innovation, so can war... in both cases the negatives don't justify the 'progress'.... In recent times, humanity has spent more effort in producing smaller mp3 players and cell-phones than clean water and sanitation for everybody... isn't it time to reevaluate how we motivate people?

Hello group - 

I have been subscribed to this group for a year or two, and am happy to announce that I am a *brand new* Ubuntu user.

 Recently, I had an old pc that got infected with malware, so I looked to Ubuntu rather than trying to get rid of it or reinstalling XP.

I love the philosophy behind Ubuntu and appreciate all of cooperation and hard work that goes into it.

However, I have been having *loads of trouble* with Firefox.  It freezes often, requiring frequent & unwanted restarts.

Does anyone here have any advice on how to correct this problem?  I looked around the help section and nothing jumped out at me.

Thanks,

Sean
