Solved Firefox help

[PattiChati]

My firefox will keep giving me an error, here it is:

So I constantly have to shut down my computer go get back to firefox. If there is some firefox open, I sure can't find it.

No need to restart your PC , right click on the Task bar & select start Task Manager > select the processes tab > locate Firefox & right click end process.

As stve sad, process that is created by Firefox firefox.exe is already running on your pc and you need to kill it.

Thanks so much. I wonder why that is doing that now, it never did that before.

Try updating to a newer Firefox , possibly one of your extensions causing it ?

I already have the newest firefox. My whole computer is slow and weird - I am sick of it!!!! It has gotten worse since I installed Office 2010

How much free space have you got on your system Hard Drive (normally C:\ ) ?
If there is no room for a Pagefile your PC will slow to a crawl.
Having too many programs set to run when your PC starts can be a drag on system resources.
Goto Start & type system into the search field , open System Configuration & select the startup tab & disable the ones you don't need.

I recommend CCleaner for reclaiming hard drive space Download CCleaner 3.12.1572 - FileHippo.com its free & I've used it for years & never had any problems with it.

I have 247 gb free on my hard drive. I have gone to msconfig and onlly have 4 programs running. Two intel and malwarebytes and avast. I do use cCleaner and their registry too sometimes. I have been told by many to stay away from registry cleaning.

I see that you have 3 GB ram that should be plenty for most programs & Firefox unless you are multitasking.
Try opening Task Manager when you are getting slowdowns & look under processes & also Performance & try & identify any processes that may be causing the slow downs.

I did that and there is nothing causing slowdowns, I check all the time. If I take off Office 2010, will my office 2007 take over, or will all the info be gone. I installed 2010, thinking 2007 would still be there and it wasn't. It all transferred to 2010. I think this is when it started, but it shouldn't be doing it I don't think.
