I've had Firefox for a few days and love it, but every so often pages are freezing and it's irritating because when you press Ctrl Alt and Delete and it says Not Responding for whatever reason ALL of the windows shut down, not just the one that's frozen, and it's really annoying.

So i just thought that with the Processor only being 500Mhz and the fact that i'm on WindowsMe, (I hate XP ) it's probably happening because IE is still running so many processes. I went to Hijack this and was about to get rid of the IE functions and was baffled when i saw that Firefox isn't even on there as a running process. I'm just wondering if you can help me out with this. I've had to persuade my brother to let me shut off the IE processes because he won't even use Firefox due to it freezing. I have faith in it though, and like it so i'm hoping to get this sussed.

Here's my log from Hijack this, can you tell me what i should get rid of if i just want to use Firefox? There's not that much here because i try and shut off what i don't need and keep the amount of RAM used to a minimum. (also, if there's other stuff hogging RAM i'd be chuffed if you could tell me what i don't need, or any spyware etc.)
