dont see a problem on the newest FF,but, its just begun. will let you know...

I'm using the 57.0 update as well and not having any problems, sometimes Adobe Flash messes up and doesn't work right probably causing your freeze but that is the flash program, not FF. I like Safari as well and it is the standard browser for Apple computers, even know a few still using Opera. I've been staying away from Chrome, Google knows more than enough about me. Don't let me tell you what I think of IE and Edge.

ill stick with chrome for now. the minute i click on Firefox it freeze up. only way out is log out of windows 10
its possible its not compatible.

You might try uninstalling it completely and reinstalling it after a reboot, it is possible there is a glitch, malware, or virus attached to it. another is to look at the add-on's.

firefox did like flash. it still does it if you try to use flash content. so it sort of works

what **Censored** me off,,, once you get familiar with it and get it all built with screen, add-ons, etc,,,,BANG, ya have to change it .

[jon6667]

yes same here . i found out from Mozilla 5.7 does not support sliver light or flash player.
its a pain i have to run 2 browsers one for flash and Firefox for basic browsing.

[jon6667]

im just going to uninstall Firefox.

[MDYoungblood]

Try "Safari", I like it a lot, can download it off CNET, there is a version for Windows.

Time to run a good anti-virus, I just found 2 malicious viruses and they only effected Firefox. I had to delete Firefox completely and then a refresh to windows 10, everything is running fine now.

Edge is ok but i run Norton 360 and i like that Chrome interfaces with it. as for Google knowing stuff about you. That has already happened lol . Try Ghostery it is a tracker blocker and its free .I saw it on Fox news. Seems to help pages load up faster plus it shows what trackers it blocked

[295 antenna]

I realize i got off track alittle but flash player sucks. i have heard alot of viruses come through flash plus i have had nothing but problems with the latest version.

[jon6667]

i uninstalled it. downloaded it again no change. im done with Firefox. i have used Firefox for many years

[jon6667]

i use webroot 5 years now
not 1 virus

[MDYoungblood]

I'm using Safari (Apple's brand browser) now on my Mac's and the PC's, I've given up on Firefox after this last episode.
