CarMad Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have found that on occasions Firefox gets in a tiss with itself. If you have a look at CPU usage you will see that it might be just chewing up all the resources. Close it down and re-start it and it should be fine.

Ritey Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Are you running 1.07 or the beta 1.5? I've got 1.07 and haven't had any speed issues, are you linked into the uni virus scan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second question - I am behind the Uni firewall, but I am using my own virus scan software - Panda Titanium. I will try clearing my cookies too...
