Description

[starxdreamer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 3.1)
Build Identifier: 1.0.5.6

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Mozilla several times.  Whenever I go to a webpage, doesn't matter which one, it will work for a couple of links and then it goes into 'not responding'.  I have no idea what's wrong and I've done research on here.  I've asked other people.  IE works just fine, but I dont like IE at all, I want Mozilla back.  Can anyone help?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla
2.search webpage
3.after a couple links, it stops responding

Actual Results:  
Just go to a webpage like normal and it just stops responding.

Expected Results:  
It stopped responding and I had to close out and restart using IE.

It should not have stopped responding.

Bugzilla is the wrong place for end-user support questions. Use the forums instead: http://forums.mozillazine.org

Are these special websites, e.g. plugins? Or does that happen on every site like browsing through differnt google seach sites?

i had to go back in and redo a profile...or just get a new one completely.  not sure if it fixed it all the way, but at least i dont have to use IE now.  so i'm happy.

Using a new profile is good, but we should also know what happens to the broken one? Do you have deleted all the data? If not, I would be interested what happens there.

Don't resolve bugs as fixed when no fix happens here. You can close that bug as WFM when you have deleted your broken profile and we havn't a chance to find out what happens here.

--->WFM since reporter says they made a new profile and now things work, and no apparent way to extract any more information as to what exactly happened.
