Firefox and general browser trouble
Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2009 10:57 pm
I'm experiencing something very odd on my laptop these days.
I've had it for almost 2 years, and have used Firefox on it all the time. I have all other major browsers on it, just in case and, and update them when a new release is out.
Never had trouble before, untill now.
For some reason, firefox will stop loading images, take very long to load a site and even time out a connection.
I thought "maybe it's just firefox", but the other browsers have it too.
What helps is starting in safe mode and resetting everything. Then I re-enabled all the addons and plugins, and stuff just works again.
But the good times usually only last for 24 hours or less. Then I have to do it again.
Odd thing is that doing this also affects the performance of all other browsers: Opera, Chrome and IE8
Non of them will load images and most websites, until I reset firefox.
Are there any addons know to do this?
Also, I keep getting a message every now and then that the Key Management Service can't verify me. And usually the firefox stuff starts an hour or 2 after that.
It's the same install I did 2 years ago and the KMS system has existed for over a year now. I don't get it, I really don't get what's wrong here.
