Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Cindy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

Cannot read Hotmail, since Firefox locks up.  Same occurs at ING Direct, and
many other websites I have clicked on.  Also cannot open two browser windows at
the same time, that locks up both windows.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type in URL
2.Wait
3.  Starts to load then freezes

Actual Results:  
Had to press CtrlAltDel and manually close Firefox

Expected Results:  
Loaded the site so I could read it as it used to

I am not a techie and don't know what this means.

This has happened at 90% of the websites I've tried to visit since downloading
the upgrade last night.
I had to use MS Explorer for the first time in ages to read my Hotmail.

Does the problem go away if you start Firefox in safe
mode(http://kb.mozillazine.org/safe_mode)?
