Anyone have problems with the new FF 7.0?
Mine will freeze up sometimes, but if you wait a minute or 2 it will come back, it's like it's too busy to do anything or gets lost and off track and needs a bit of time to catch up.
I have tried contacting FF about this but haven't heard a thing back.
My version is 7.0.1

I having the same issue with the same version. In my case its the flash plugin crashing. It will freeze and once any flash loads then continues.With video it starts then locks up and times out.Have to go to task manager to close it and then when I reopen it does the same.Have to reboot computer to get things back to normal.I have tried uninstalling flash rebooting then reinstalling and that works for a couple of days.

Yeah, ff7 is more a beta version than anything else IMHO. Java locks up intermittently for me though, and you can almost forget watching anything like youtube most the time (I download it and then play it)
But for me, I think the problems started @ ff5 and have gotten progressively worse

I was having the same issues, almost as if my laptop was in slow motion. I've gone back to google chrome.

Mine crashed twice, also running 7.01, while trying to log on to a specific secured site (sorry guys it was a utility site). Other then that, it has been fine. Must say they went from 5 to 7 in no time.
Still running 3.36 (i believe) on my desktop.

mine is messed up on FB but then that could be FB itself that is messed which is nothing new either. As for Live Mail I gave up on that piece of crap after their last major update as well. Just wait for Windows 8 and then we will have a whole new set of problems

I installed IE8 on one PC, big mistake, I lost the abillity to view the security cameras through the network DVR, and FireFox doesnt have the correct .OCX addon to do the same, so I have to use IE 7 or lower to do that function.
My W7 PC's work great using IE9, (and dont lock up using FF7.0.1) I would update the others to W7 but don't have the cash to do 6 more upgrades.
It might be a combination of some new XP update and the new version of FF 7.0.1, I have sent several E-mails to Modzilla and haven't seen any up dates as of yet.

Mine does the same thing..... I will type and then i see the windows 7 blue circle... sorta like the hour glass back in the win98 days.
then it will come back..
I wonder what is the most stable version of FIREFOX?

I tried it with and without the add on's, it didn't make a difference, it still freezes up for about a minuet then starts working.
Yes have always enjoyed using FF for most part but do have some issues as others that is making whole reason(s) for using kind of null and void hope to see get resolved.Have one netbook that is ALWAYS in private mode no matter what I do or have tried and has Windows 7.

I believe that since IE 5, when "THEY" started to non-integrate, via a court order, problems started. Not sure what the solution is as I have been fighting a Roboform ToGo integration since FF 7.0. Roboform ToGo is still working on IE 8.
Tis getting a little old since FF has gone through 3 major updates in last 6 months.

Well FF 8 did the trick, I guess they got tired of my bug reports.
So far FF8 is flawless..

Agree, much better, FF8. Still running FF 3.6/IE 8 on desktop as I know at least one system will work. But I am sure that since the courts order MS not to integrate their browser with their OS, that we need not worry.

Still running FF 3.6.2 too. But some sites like iCloud don't work so will try out FF8.

I upgraded my OmniPro 17 to 18, business purpose, and I must admit, I am not a Cloud person.
Appears OmniPro 18 has intergrated the "CLOUD" into the software which I detest.
