Does Firefox suck, or is GA having probs or yahoo?

Hello peoples. Ever since the last upgrade or two of firefox, it just hasn't been acting normal. Certain yahoo pages crash it, usually in the sports section, (granted thats where i spend 90% of my time) and when i am On GA some times it loads like 1 post at a time and its real slow to go through the whole page. Also when i click on a category it loads like 4 thread listings and then hangs for 10 seconds and the keeps loading.

Its driving me a little bonkers and i have all my passwords, bookmarks, and what have you marked in firefox so i dont really want to flip to IE. i can and i will but i wondered if other people had the issues? I am pretty sure it happens on both of my computers and it really drives me crazy when I am using meebo and then i suddenly crash out.

Any one else having problems with firefox/ga/yahoo?

M-

I think it's FF myself. When I read my Yahoo mail it crashes after reading the first email or delete an email. That was with FF3 Beta 3 tho

I'm having the same problem when using to view some local radio station sites. FF just shuts down. Really sucks.
