Mozilla Firefox

Whenever I start up my pc the above prog.nearly always states that it is not responding and I have to wait awhile till it does. Can anyone suggest why and how to overcome this,I'm using Vista. Thanks.

I doubt that it's Firefox that's actually the problem. I've found that it can show 'not responding' for a while when other software is hogging resources. (That particularly applies when anti-virus software is updating itself in the background from the net). Take a look at what's set to start automatically when you start your PC and see whether everything in the list is actually needed. (Go to Start > Run. Type msconfig in the box and hit enter. Click the Startup tab. Click to remove the ticks against anything not required. Click Apply. Click OK. Restart your computer. You'll see a message about 'Selective Startup'. Click 'Do not show this message again'. Any changes are easily reversed by simply going back to msconfig again).

Thanks for a concise answer as usual.I went that route for a previous problem,but if i recall it properly I didn't recognise most of the listings to be able to decide which ones were relevant to start up.I'll do that later thanks again!!!

Hi there Buenchico,I've been away from the pc for a while but the few times I've started up seems to have improved.Fingers crossed,thanks.

Hi fender62 after following buenchico's advice things have improved but if they go back to square one again I'll give your suggestion a try. Thanks.
