Is there a cleaner available for your OS? I use CCleaner on my W7 box religiously to wipe cache and tracking cookies. All the hitchhikers we pick up browsing the web is alarming.

I keep it as clean as i can! FF has always been a little flaky under OSX but it has become pretty bad of late and gets to the point where you can't shut it down at all.

You mean our forums here? Really? That's a bit worrying...  

 Sorry, just trying Chrome now. Looks like Firefox is the only browser giving me issues—editor not loading, quoting not working, stylesheets and images not all loading...

The issue could very well be network related since cell service is pretty weak at our current location and we haven't been on our satellite in a few days.

I take it it's the latest version of FF for Android?

Got to say I haven't had any trouble on my Android in both the stock internet app and Chrome. Just went to download Firefox for Android but embarrassingly I'm out of space!.. Just transferring some stuff off and then will try it out.

Sorry for any misunderstanding, I've been referring to Firefox desktop browser, which I'm using now and everything loaded fine.

It was just giving me serious headaches for a few days in a row, which I'll attribute to the number of people online via Verizon at certain times...

Ah OK.. Well good to know it's all working as it should! If Verizon is anything like BT when it comes to speeds at peak times then I know your pain wink
