Slow Browser, Crashing etc.

[joodyanne]

I found this in Firefox help

How do I get rid of the message "A web page is slowing down your browser, what do you want to do, wait or stop it"?   Last reply by FredMcD 1 day ago

Chosen solution

Another user posted a similar question.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

I AM LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION OTHER THAN STARTING IN SAFE MODE.  REFRESHING FIREFOX DOES NOT HELP.

I am also having this problem with almost every web site I go to - including Firefox. Starting in safe mode is not an option for me.

This is a recent issue. Does Firefox need to change its programming?

I'm about to change to a new browser since this slows my work to an intolerable level.

Safe Mode  is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off
hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables
add-ons (extensions and themes). If the problem goes away,
that tells us one thing. If it does not, that tells us something else.

I have refreshed firefox twice over the past two weeks.  I went into safe mode, opened up some progras, didn't really know what I was looking for.   I don't understand what this means

as I don't think it applies to me.

Judy,
It is a good idea to have more than one browser at hand.
 Internet Explorer
 Chrome
 Safari
 Firefox
 Opera
Reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers
Myself, I like SeaMonkey as an alternative for some things. 

[joodyanne]

OK - I will try Sea Monkey again - I already had Chrome and Internet Explorer on hand.

I just wondered what this meant tho IT ONLY APPEARS IN FIREFOX WHEN OPENING UP CHARTER.NET FOR MY EMAIL CHARTER DISAVOWS ANY PROBLEM FROM THEIR END

I still don't really know why the message

A web page is slowing down your browser, what do you want to do, wait or stop it

occurs though.

Can you please close this thread - and thanks for trying to help.   The problem has not been solved, but I want to withdraw it.

Here is a long list:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/18900/consumer-antivirus-software-providers-for-windows
Some have free versions. Others other trail versions. Too many choices. But you must make a choice. If you really can not choose, try:
Microsoft Security Essentials

Is it any true that Microsoft Security Essentials rank last in the list of anti-virus software? As in it lacks the complexity to detect smart trojans and malwares. Any true?

Here is some background about MSE:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Security_Essentials
Notice that some big guys were critical of MSE because it gave users another choice in a field they thought overcrowded.

Microsoft's announcement of its own AV software on 18 November 2008  ...Trend Micro claimed that the integration of the product into Microsoft Windows would be a violation of competition law.

So you might expect that Microsoft would not make the free tool very powerful or impressive. However, it does do a good job  keeping out malware.
Right now I have it on my Windows XP machine. Works for me.
