Comment on Firefox Problems On OS X, Posting Via YouTube by Joshua

I have had quite a few problems with firefox in my imac as well. It seems like since the last big update to firefox, that it has been *somewhat* unstable on my machine. If i ever want to watch videos, via youtube or myspace, i just start up opera and load them in opera instead. If i try watching them via firefox then firefox will kind of freeze. It just doesn’t load anything after that. Its not truthfully frozen, because i can look at the content of the page that is loaded and stuff like that, but i have to close it completely, not just click the ‘X’ but right click the dock icon and quit, then reload it for it to run.

My biggest problem when I call tech support is that I know more than the tech support person. They lead me through a predeterminded script, and in most instances this script are things I have allready done. In some instances the tech person just plain tells me things that are not true or accurate. Needless to say, tech support seldom solves my problem, therefore I only use phone tech support asa last resort. I have found that Googling is the best tech support solution.

Hello,

I am able to focus better, think more clearly and solve problems more efficiently at night. In addition, I seem to do so with more energy.

Regards,

Most of my life I have preferred to work late and sleep from 3am until about 10am. As you are probably aware, this is not ideal for many who wish to make money and survive. One has to be awake when most others are to conduct business, etc.

I believe it has to do with the Circadian rhythms we are all subject to.

It’s no better on the pc. I’m running windows vista and my firefox just crashed on me two times in a row. I also use stumble upon and using that crashed my firefox everytime. I hate IE just as much, so now, firefox is just a distant memnory as for iam getting rid of it and trying something else.
