Firefox 1.5.0.1 bug?

[Jeff7181]

Ever since I got the update my computer periodically locks up for about 15 seconds. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

I noticed this as well with antivir, sometimes it would hang for about 15 sec, I uninstalled it and i hope that they will fix it soon.

Firefox used to do this for me aswell, but with the 1.5 build. I deleted my profile and the problem went away.

Yep, same here.

I do use Antivir 7 but I don't have the Virusguard running in the background.

Just updated, seems faster.

I'm trying avast in the meantime.

NOD32 is VERY good. try it.

 

[Bozono]

I've got both installed and for the last 2 days I've had nothing but crashes and problems. Anyone having problems with just Firefox 1.5.0.1? Trying to figure out which it is.

edit. Uninstalled the AntiVir 7 and my problems have gone away. I'll go with Avast until they address the issues.

 

[ubercaffeinated]

YEA! okay i thought i got some weird ass virus or something. But my stuff hangs for like 15 secs at a time ever since antivir 7 installed. Weird T.T

Hi, I suffered a similiar problem, I was so bothered by it I did a format. Oh well I guess I could've used one, wanted to clean out some stuff. But what seems to stop this problem for me is in Antivir config, expert mode Scanner>Scan uncheck "allow stops".

I was having crashing problems with FF 1.5, but have not had a single crash with 1.5.0.1, so yay
