Hiya browser-knowledgable people!
When I use Firefox 4.0.1 I think, I experienced the browser freezes sometimes when I try to open a link or watch a video.. And it freezes all the other brower windows too so I have to restart them. (not other browser windows though).
Why? And what can I do?
My IE used to do the same. I would get a 'Global host stopped working' message up to multiple times a day but it seems to have stopped now, fortunately. Since it was driving me nuts... I've tried Google Crome but I haven't figured out how to customize it so for now I just think it's annoying...
Hmm, if it has happened to you in both browsers, it may be a computer problem and not the browser.
I have not experienced freezes with the latest version of Firefox (FF 4), and I didn't with the previous ones either. The only time when I get funky action is when Google Images leads me to an effed up site where the image is hosted.
Do you use tabs or individual windows? (although it shouldn't really matter)
I have no idea. How old is your computer?
