For the past two days, Firefox sometimes is locking up, while running CPU to nearly 100% when I attempt to open some threads. This is the only site it appears to be happening at. Very strange!
No problems here with Firefox, although I've passed on the latest update.
Well I have the latest update for Firefox and it doesn't seem to be causing any problems. There is definitely something different with these forums though. All my browsers on all machines have something that messes up on these forums.
I'm using the latest version and having no problems.

Ditto Firefox version 2.0.0.6 is a lump of s**t on my system, and is only effected on this very forum with the one exception being it wouldn't load anything on Filehippo.com the very first time I ran v2.0.0.6.
I'm going to have to use another third-party browser until the next update that hopefully fixes it. I already tried Opera, but just can't get used to it again the layout is f***ked, although in the past I solely used it.

What it's in the layout, that's so f***ked?
What is so f'd is that one has to spend too much time making the layout into that of a standard-looking browser. Sure it can be done, but sometimes patience is a virtue.

Only this forum? Why do you think it's the browser than? This forum is funky with all my browsers in one way or another.
If it's just this forum use Firfoxe every where but here and use IE here. I am actually not minding IE7 with IE7 Pro and the Google Tool Bar. It's tolerable with those addons.

You are indeed very correct, it took using a completely other browser to find exactly that out!
I'm currently using and testing out the newest version of Maxthon, and this forum sure is funky acting even with Maxthon. I don't know if it's the IPB forum software or some customizations but it is definately acting funky. At least it hasn't caused Maxthon to lockup yet, whereas with Firefox it was locking up way too much.
Now if I can only find out how to get the fonts too look the way I want in Maxthon, or I'll have to break out some binoculars to see the text as it's too small for me.
in Opera, you just click +

Maxthon 2 has a zoom control on the status bar and in the customize dialog box you can drag one on to the tool bar.
Zoom messes with images. I found what I was looking for in Internet Explorer Accessibility Options by ignoring page specified font sizes.

In the Maxthon Options you can select weather Maxthon uses it's own zoom or IE7's zoom. IE7's shouldn't mess with images.

You wouldn't by any chance using a Dell with Quick Set would you?

I'm using a Dell PC but I don't have Quick Set, or any of their other crapware installed.
Edit:
Actually I've gotten Maxthon configured just how I like it. Firefox may very well go bye-bye in another week or two.

Maxthon 2 has the best skins of all the browsers IMO. Also has many extensions.

I tried some of the skins but they weren't to my liking, usually most skins aren't. The default skin is fine for now. I had initially enabled the 'View->Interface Style' to 'XP Native' during the initial configuration it offers, and it literally took forever to find out how I changed it after dabbling with three other skins.
I never thought I'd ever again use anything IE related, however this Maxthon browser is a rather sleek impressive browser - if only Microsoft would have adopted it versus the mess that is IE7.

Hi Andavari
I'm very interested in your comments about "Maxthon"
I tried "Opera" and well, lets just say I didn't like it that much.
I'm using IE7 at the moment, there's got to be a better way to browse.

What I liked right off the bat with it was that it's layed out somewhat like a normal browser from what everyone should be used to for instance in IE6 and Firefox. I didn't have to spend forever configuring it which was a big plus in it's favour, because I have zero patience making some out of whack browser layed out like a normal browser.

I did fix some of my problems on this forum by rebooting my DSL modem, followed by releasing and renewing my IP address.
Andavari, do you think Maxthon is easer to configure than IE7, and is it more secure?
Also are you using the classic version, or the latest version?
