my Internet Explorer is being a bitch :|

[floatingleaf]

I'm having weird issues with my browser - whenever I click on something, I get the message that the website is "not responding". Refreshing usually works, but then the next time I try to do anything, the message comes back again.:/ Or the site freezes for a minute or so. And it's been happening with a bunch of different sites, so I know it's not just one particular webpage with problems. Also, my internet connection seems perfectly fine. So I figure it must be the browser. I have Internet Explorer 9 - the latest fancy-shmancy version that is supposed to be oh-so-cool. Any ideas on why it might be acting like this?... It makes web browsing extremely frustrating - not to mention posting LJ comments and stuff like that. I am actually making this entry as a test, to see if I am able to post under the circumstances. If it comes through, I'll try to do another one...

Both Mum and I have this issue with IE. I also run firefox, which is virtually glitch free.

I don't have Firefox on my computer at home, but I do have it at work, and sometimes use it when IE goes wonky. I wonder if I could install it at home. Is it downloadable for free from the net?...
