I tried Firefox and it locks up my laptop to where I have to shut down by pulling the battery out and un pluging power.

That's not a good thing to do, FLIGHT SIM FANATIC. If when using Firefox, you have to do this, then you don't need Firefox. It doesn't lockup my PC, but at times startup is slow. Mabye you should try Opera. It's a decent browser, better than IE anyway. Shutting down your laptop like this, it won't be here for long. Your hard drive will be shot and there's no telling what else. Opera is as fast as Firefox, but I've had no problems like this,so I didn't see a need to change. Best of luck to you and please find another browser, or you won't have a laptop to shut down.

Hi FLIGHT SIM FANATIC

Thats not going to do your Laptop any good M8 so as catilley suggests try a different browser, i don't use Firefox as i found it slow and did not like it so I'm in a minority ,

Two browsers you may like to test >

Opera > http://www.opera.com/

Maxthon > http://www.maxthon.com/

I use each on different Windows 7 based Computers with no complaints

Veedaz, that Maxthon browser looks good, it's feature packed like Firefox. Is it an American or European browser. I've never heard of it until now.

Maxthon is Beijing-based and one fetcher i use every time I'm on line is the auto refresh (brilliant for forums) mine is set to refresh the tab every 120 seconds and you can set different times for each tab or have as many refresh as you want >
