Using Vista with Firdfox

[Stu Davis]

I had been having problems using Firefox 3 (my preferred browser) with Vista
Home Premium. On a regular basis Firefox would freeze up and not be
available either to run or to quit running. I did not have this problem with
Internet Explorer but really wanted to use Firefox for most of my browsing.

I eventually found out the Ad-aware seemed to be the cause of the problem. I
removed Ad Aware from my Vista computer and the problem has gone away.

To rectify the problem on a temporary basis I had to reboot my machine to
unblock it only to have the problem return on a random basis.

This situation does not occur on my other laptop running XP home.

Passed on for information.
