When I go to read a news article via AOL everything freezes. The only way out is Alt, Ctrl, delete. After I close all the windows with 'Task manager" I get a dialog box saying Firefox is running but not responding. It makes me cringe but I'm thinking of going to Internet Explorer as a browser because I can't take it anymore with Mozilla freezing like this. PLEASE HELP. Thank you.
