Whats with firefox?

Worst case you loose DNS, but as a default, you can run with just the one line:

• 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.com

It's odd to me, these FF issues? I have a number of MS machines running (both real & VM) & my son also runs Win 7 (his thing is to have so many tabs open at once that he has a massive side-scroll- lol) and we have none of this. He said he thought FF was a "bit laggy"-- but given the above, it might be the 25 tabs....

It's only an aside, but my main PC (Mint) just never has any issues- at all. The MS machines I keep are there strictly for testing issues my clients run up against (such as this one). However, as I have no trouble on any of them, I can't be of much service other than to say it's likely a specific issue on your machine.

Perhaps a Revo uninstall of FF, an sfc /scannow in safe mode, followed by a chkdsk /f. Then, reinstall FF (from ninite.com). They'll have the most current & it'll install automatically.

Oddly enough I have done a few revo uninstalls. I don't usually have 25 tabs open, but I do have hundreds & hunfdreds of bookmarks. Perhaps I'll dump the bookmarks & try that,first

Just back-up your FF profile folder to the desktop & do a clean reinstall of FF. That ought to show if it's a corrupt profile or something else within Windows.

That's where I started too, but as the symptoms only arose with the updated version of FF, it was clear that FF was at fault. Now on 49.0.1 with all add-ons disabled and the browser behaves as expected. I'll re-enable them 1/1 and see what happens...

Choose your poison here, then?

Cheers

Edit: I've double-checked & all of my MS machines are at 49.01 & working fine. FYI.

Well, Sort of. It's Mozilla Firefox, an open-source web Browser. They did start to create an OS, but have since stopped and abandoned that project.

Now Firefox OS runs in almost 50 devices and many contributors are porting it in their Android device.
