IT Queries: Computer problems answered

I’m using Firefox and finding it keeps freezing up on me. I have to restart it everytime.

 Can I fix it?

System freezes are a pretty common complaint in the current version of Firefox. A good free program to fix it is FireTune. We recommend downloading this program and installing it on your computer.

When you run it, make sure Firefox is closed. Click the “Create backup of configuration” button so you can undo things if they go wrong.

In the first window, you’ll be asked what combination of computer and Internet connection you have. There’s an explanation of what is a fast computer and Internet connection at the bottom of the screen.

In the Other Useful Settings tab, click the Optimise Firefox memory usage button.

Click the Tune It! button and close the program.

Restart Firefox.

So far, trials on our machines have seen a good improvement. Give it a go and see how it works for you.
