Mozilla FF help please

HIya

Basically I have a small problem with Mozilla Firefox and Google toolbar.

It has been fine for a yearish but over the last few week FF keeps crashing/freezing and my cpu useage is 100% with Mozilla being the offending programme.

I googled solutions etc and one said to disable all add-ons etc and try 1 at a time.

All done and the only extention that caused this issed was google toolbar.

Thing is I really like the functions and am not sure what to try to sort the problem (yes yes I know leave google toolbar off) lol

Any help would be greatly welcomed.

Thanks Guys and Girls xx
Think it's about time the comping fairy remembered where I am! lol

    First uninstall the Google toolbar totally, then reinstall it. Failing that try a different Google toolbar - like Googlebar or Googlebar lite

    Perhaps your Firefox profile is corrupt?

    Have a look at Mozbackup .. http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ .. you can create new profiles with this , then export/import your old profile.

    Worth trying anyway ..

    Lol thanks jakswan it only seems to have started since FF did an update, I think it's because certain toolbars are not conpatible with the newer version, well that's how I read it after spending hours googleing lol
