    You might like to check for a Firefox update. It might help, but there are also some security issues to fix:

    How much memory have you got? I do seem to remember comments about it being an issue with earlier Fedora and Firefox?

    GNU GRUB

    I have 1GiB of memory DDR2. I tried installing the update for Firefox when I went to the website but it froze again. But it seems to have an issue only when on the network, I think. When it's busy, then I open up another file, the window behind the active folder turns white, everything on it like dissapeares and all I see is a blank window (sort of like what happens with Windows OS when a program crashes). The same with the Internet Browser, I click on a link and a lot of it turns like a purple color and I'm not able to see the text or anything. ???

    I am currently downloading the updates for Fedora, I hope that helps.

    Well I finished installing the updates for Fedora Core 5, and my computer hasn't frozen. I hope the updates fixed the problem. But now in my boot loader (GNU GRUB) it has 2 differnt Fedora Core 5 options and of course the WIndows XP option. Does anyone know why? Is that going to be a problem?

    Probably cause your kernel updated to a newer version. Everytime you update the kernel it will give a boot option of booting into it or previous versions. I've been perpetually stuck on 2.6.16 b/c of compatibility issues with a few programs and drivers...so when I get to that screen I just scroll down until I get to the most recent 2.6.16.
    There is only one constant, one universal, it is the only real truth: causality. Action. Reaction. Cause and effect...There is no escape from it, we are forever slaves to it. Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the 'why'. 'Why' is what separates us from them, you from me. 'Why' is the only real social power, without it you are powerless.
