Firefox crashes
This only happens on while I am on Amazon.com. I was getting repetitive "unresponsive script" errors, so I went on YouTube, and followed procedures for getting rid of unresponsive scripts. However, while I am no longer getting the script errors, every time I try to go on Amazon, Firefox itself stops responding and I just get the spinning wheel. I have to Force Quit to get out of it. I'm about to switch to Chrome, but would really prefer to use Firefox.
I have a Macbook Pro 10.9.5 and Firefox 43.0.4. I've tried trashing Firefox and re-downloading and doesn't make a difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks
