Do you get the same problem with Internet Explorer?

[jason2074]

Is this while on a wi-fi or LAN connection? Was it working before? Any script warning message from being unresponsive?

then I can not open any application

Of what? Other computer software programs installed...? Which made you a force shutdown.

Have you tried reinstalling one or both browsers with updated versions? Make sure also Java, Adobe flash player are up to date. Try running IE with no add-ons. Close IE browser first. Click Start, Programs, look for IE and click on no Add-ons. Check the result.

Hi,
My suggestion is to go to safe mode and uninstall firefox from there.

This tells me it's NOT a Firefox issue...
What happened since the machine was working properly ? ?

If it's not the anti-virus, maybe you HAVE a virus..

maybe you HAVE a virus..

Most likely...

Actually this could have been due to so many reasons. If you had given more information I would have been more specific. But I will tell you what to do:

-   You can basically try a different browser.
-   Install fire fox (a new copy).
-   Install updates to the fire fox.
-   Check whether you have accidently changed the properties of fire fox.
-   Find out whether the copy of windows seven you are using is original.
-   Perform a full virus scan.

It seems that there are many possibilities.
Wait for the result. Because I am interested in this problem

I also experienced the same problems on firefox after installing some plug-ins. It takes too slow for firefox to respond even though my internet connection and OS is fast.
