i use firefox and adblock plus, no problems. i think there's an adblock plus for ie also. also clearing out your cache, history, and cookies once a month might help. general maintenance, such as disk cleanup, and defrag will help. like Mike said, use an antivirus and anti spyware. i use avira and malwarebytes. both are free and don't eat up your resources or slow your computer down like norton, mcafee, and the other big company programs.

tig, the same thing I think was happening to me there for a while. I was having a whole lot of problems at the time though...no updated antivirus working 'all' of the time, no firewall, just lacking a lot of good protection and no way to stay on dial-up line long enough to get anything downloaded and working. I eventually got high speed, and protection and things ended up working themselves out. I like you had many pages open at once, and it would shut down...usually giving me a seconds counter counting down b4 it happened. I would just log off, well actually I usually had to press and hold the button on the tower to get away from things. Once I would turn it back on, and log on, it would ask me if I wanted to restore session, to which I replied 'yes' and all the tabs I had open previously would reopen...in time. ok, i know no one sympathizes with me on dialup but that's my life! Oh, but I can empathize...been there...done that...wanted to pull hair out and scream! There was just no other option available for an ISP at the time...so I do understand. " Are you actually reopening the browser for each site, rather than putting them on tabs? It will be quicker just opening a new tab. " Not sure what tabs means. I open a mozilla browser for 1 website and while reading there on that page I open 3 or 4 other websites. So as they load I read at the 1st then I read one of those others as I go to another site at the one I just read. follow that? Just how do you open another website? page? thread? Go to a favorite and right click on it and choose "Open in new window or open in new tab? Go to a forum, and see a message you are interested in reading and then right click on it and choose "Open in new window or open in new tab? Go to file (upper left corner) and left it to click on open new 'window' or open new tab? And then click on a favorite to open in that tab? When you have lots of pages open, does the brief header appear above or below the page you are looking at? If they are 'above' they are tabs. If they are below, they are windows. You can open several tabs in each window. Have I made any sense whatsoever? Sue...who sometimes has 5, 10, or20 'tabs' open or opening at once.

I offended some people. I am so sorry, honestly that was not my intention. owbist, I remember you are one of the people that has helped me before. I did not mean to say that I expected instant help. It's just that I guess I have had luck because In all my past request for help. I have always had quick replies, and since my computer is doing funny things I thought it could be possible that my post was not showing. I know you all are volunteers and I have so many times wondered how you all can come in here just to help people.......I really admire you all. ---------------------- damccoy, you misunderstood me far worse. ".....because I am not sitting here waiting for help." I wanted you all to know that I was doing my best to find a solution on my own....THAT I WAS TRYING.... I have been coming here for many years. Sometimes for help and at times to see what I can learn......AND, I have read people being told to not just depend on this site, but to do some research on their own. That google is out there just for that. ======If I don' t get a respond this time it will be obvious. I will have to find elsewhere for help, I hope, because I am not sitting here waiting for help. I am googlying all over and can't find an answer======= That section is what must have made you angry.....my mistake was not being clear......I meant that if no one responded it meant that it was clear to me that my posting was NOT showing and I would have to try somewhere else where it would show.....I meant that not only was I asking for help here. Coming here is part of all the searching that I have been doing.........And yes, I hoped, I wished that I would find the solution by googling on my own if this site was not seeing my post . Problem is that I don't understand many of the computer talk to be able to fix on my own.........So again I am sorry, If again I need help here, AND I WILL, I will remember that words written down don't come across as they do coming out of the mouth......I will write carefully -------------------------------------- Malwarebytes' Anti-malware SUPERantiSpyware Microsoft Security Essentials owbist, today I scanned with all 3, updated just before, made a full scan on all three.....MSE found nothing.........the other two found some that I went ahead and got rid of.......I am on mozilla right now but that means nothing because M FF will let me on when it feels like it. Most of the time NOT....rarely it will. But when I used to use it before it gave up on me I would print shipping labels on PP..........Now since it let me on, I tried to buy the labels and ended up having to do them the old fashion way and will take to the PO tomorrow.......That is mainly my problem.......I will deal with whatever browser, even Chrome if only it prints the labels......... And none are doing it. Thanks all, HHH I said I was on mozilla, well it did not let me in here, so back to chrome

Here is a link to Firefox and pages not loading properly. One of the many possible problems cited may be the add-ons and plug-ins but suggest you take the steps from the top. In your statement of your problem: 1-Error includes the word "chrome" and if that is Google's Chrome you might consider taking care of Chrome at least temporarily. (I avoid using Chrome because I am somewhat paranoid when it comes to Google and accusations of misuse of its data collection.) As to slowness of browsers, you might also look to make sure you do not have too many programs loading when you boot your computer.
