Firefox is acting weird.

I have a problem with firefox. Sometimes it opens up a website and sometimes it doesn't. For example I tried to open imdb.com but it said that the site could not be found. A while later it loads imdb but it messes up the lay-out. Then a couple of minutes later imdb.com opens just fine. So, when I go to google or sites that I visit regularly, 80% of the pages won't load.

What's wrong?

I have issues with copying text, where it just won't copy to the clipboard sometimes. Also, those IGN flash ads cripple firefox.

I've that problem sometimes... or when I'm replying to a thread or writing an address in the address bar, the arrow keys don't work (basically, they don't work on any text box) and I can't copy or paste text...

I have an install at the office that crashes every-bloody time I run it... I uninstall, delete everything from my registry and still -- it blows up everytime I run it.

Gotta run in 'Safe Mode'-- BOO

Firefox acts weird for me in some sites like Gametrailers and gamespot. Right now I'm using a freaking command-line web browser...talk about having the formatting of a page become messed up =b

I get that loading problem too...when i see it's taking longer than it should, I just stop and refresh and usually it load that time. Pain in the ass.

Anyone get the problem where their history just disappears arbitrarily? I've set mine to clear every 100 days, but I know it gets cleared more often than that.

I'm having problems with message forums. I can't use the search or thread tools links at all. It’s the same at several other forums and not just gaf.

That sounds like a script problem...?

I know it feels like that, but trust me, you've been sitting at that chair for years :p jk jk

I have this problem with Firefox, where if I click on a link to a .jpg, it tries to save to my HD. I have to open them in tabs......
