Following the latest update of the Firefox browser (to v16.0.1), I've been having problems with it hanging constantly.

The solution was to reset it to its original state. This means that custom add-ons, themes etc are removed and saved to a folder on your desktop so you can recover any that are important (Mozilla advises you delete this folder when it is no longer required as it contains personal data). So far this solution seems to have worked.

 

You'll find the button to click to reset the browser under Help>Troubleshooting Information.

:noPostscript: No, it has not worked so the problem endures. I've switched to Chrome till Mozilla sorts this out.

I use Opera, and noticed lately it takes several reloads to get the website up. Seems to hang @ the 6.3k point.

I switched to Chrome a while ago just because I was getting tired of the all updates Firefox goes through. Chrome has worked well and is quick.

water fox is great fast and so far reliable..its the first full version out so some of your plugins and addons may not be available for use yet...so you will probably need both still just incase u have something that doesnt work on waterfox i will look up good place to download it and post link here for you
