IE does not like FoxFire
Can anyone tell me how I can stop IE 6 from freezing, i have two internet browser on my system Firefox which works perfectly and IE 6 which keeps freezing whenever I open it and I need to open it about 3 times before it works. I need IE 6 for some website software where I need to copy and paste and Foxfire doesn't have this facility

If you don't like Firefox then get IE 7.

Why not look for an add on for FF, so you can copy and paste what you need. I'm sure there is one. There is also a add-on called IE Tab and you can view web pages as IE within FF.

Hi lyxswe,

I love Firefox, I said IE does not like Firefox (internet explorer does not work well if you have firefox loaded on your system)

If you don't have IE7, upgrade to it. That should solve your problem unless it is caused by an add-on. If you don't want to do that, then try disabling add-ons to IE until you track down what the problem is. You might also want to remove some BHO's or toolbars that you don't want/need:

I have IE-7, FireFox, Opera, and Maxthon2. There are times that they are all loaded at the same time & I have never had any conflicts.

Oh, okey I misunderstood you then.
But you should upgrade to IE 7 anyway.
