G'day,

Historically, my wife used to use Facebook a fair bit on my Macs - now thankfully she does 99% of her FB on her iPhone.

My issue "then" was with FB causing internet browsers to crash / slow down...

And - in the past few weeks when she has used FB on my Mac, I've noticed it again.

I hadn't put 2 and 2 together until now - but I suspect there's a co-relation between her using FB, and Firefox crawling to a halt.

I'm sure it was a "known issue" in the past.... Is it still a known issue - FB still use lousy coding that slows down browsers?

I rarely have to restart my computer, and rarely have to restart Firefox - until she's been near my computer...

Cheers

cosmic
