    Mozilla Firefox 21.0

    Anybody else experiencing problems with Mozilla? Mine is running like a dog (not a greyhound) and crashing all the time, especially on my banking site. (NAB)

    are you running AVG anti-virus? It used to crash my FF banking site all the time. I ended up making my banking site an exception in AVG and that fixed it. Then I changed anti-virus software.

    Yes, I am Rick. I suspected I had a problem with either AVG or Malwarebytes. I uninstalled Malwarebytes. Might have killed the wrong one by the sounds of it. Thanks for that!

    I am now using Microsoft Security Essentials as my anti-virus solution. It is free (assuming you are using PC/Windoze)

    For once, CAPITAL NO. FF 21 is running fine.

    For the last few versions, though, I've had this quirk:
    STATUS-4-EVAR is installed and doesn't cause any discernible problems, but DOES NOT WORK.
    Am(glad 4 1nce).
    CC, Image editing OK.

    Yes, call me paranoid, but I have that installed too Rick, and Spybot S&D. Glad to hear you're not having problems AM. You know it's only a matter of time though don't you?

    It's seems that AVG has a few more problems. I'm now getting a stack of warnings about win32/heri.dropper May all be false positives from what I'm reading. I think I'll follow your lead Rick and uninstall AVG.

    You're right. I had been developing an aversion to new versions of FF.
    What they should include in FF is a Brick-Wall-Detector add-on.

    +1 for MS Security Essentials.

    I gave AVG the flick several years ago as I found it to be rather flaky.

    Yes I am having trouble signing into my DWI account with FF21. It works fine in other browsers, just not FF. Must try it on the bank.

    Can anyone get the "Start Speed Test" button to work on this site using FF21?

    PHWrrwhrrffPH! You're right.

    Oh, silly him! Forgot to mention, I was in Chrome when it also DIDN'T work.
    But now, ditto in FF21. It's the page that's crook. Also does not work on mirror sites.

    Thanks AM. I know there are others. Funny that this site works perfectly in IE and Chrome, just not in FF. And there are others too. I wonder what has been screwed up? I've disabled plug-ins too, but it seems to be a FF issue.

    But Warbler. That's what I said: it DID NOT work in Chrome for me.

    Anyway, also found this one:
    http://www.speedtest.net/

    which gives you ping and upload results as well. And it IDs your ISP.

    Could be an issue with that ozspeed test site's coding too.

    THIS one direct from Optus works fine.

    Choose your server location preference and it works fine.

    It's not the site that concerns me. It's doing the same in Mozilla as my banking site was doing last night. None of the buttons worked. I posted it as an example, rather than post my banking site. As I said before, it works fine in Chrome and in IE, as does my banking site. I've downloaded the Beta version Kym mentioned, and it does the same. I guess I'll just have to use IE for a while.

    Yep, gotcha, and I realise that you posted it as an example, but just for the sake of clarity, it's not the actual speed test that is playing up(or broken in any way) it's the link to it via the Ozspeedtest applet.

    Most likely a flash problem or something similar to that effect.
