I use Mozilla Firefox for the most part as I like to be able to add to my browser experience by using Add-ons or PlugIns.
However, now and again things go wrong and this frequently occurs when Mozilla Firefox is updated.
Now, I am not a geek (not being rude), guru or anything else so I find this frustrating, and of course it affects my online business.
Recently I had a problem which seems to be quite common and that was that I was unable to access various sites but had no problems with others.
I am sure you have seen the following:
I had this problem but now it is solved.
In my case, after some research, I took the following steps with Mozilla Firefox.
I disabled all plugins and things were OK.
Check out the procedure here:

After slowly reactivating all the plugins again, one at a time, I found out that the Alexa toolbar was the culprit in my case.
So, no more Alexa toolbar – no problems since then.
I then moved out of Safe Mode and back to normal mode.
That was my problem but if you are having a similar problem then I hope that you find this useful.
On a slightly different note I have found another problem which might just be related to my computer.
Something else comes to mind.
I have found that after long periods of being online that Firefox becomes slower and slower to the point where it more or less grinds to a halt.
A check in Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) shows that looking at “Processes” it shows that Firefox is using an enormous amount of resources and CPU usage is around 100%.
(Click at the top of Mem Usage column to sort by max or min).
In answer to this I just back out of Firefox or Reboot then all goes back to normal usage.
There is quite a bit of discussion about this on the net, most of which is well above my head!
May not be the answer but worth looking at.
Please feel free to comment on any of this as you may have gathered that I am not an expert in the mysteries of software by any means so all contributions are gratefully accepted

Anyway, I hope this may throw some light on someone’s problems.

Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on the post.
The joys of internet marketing, I guess.
Always something new to think about – and fix!
