Answer 13

i just tried on internet explorer, and it was not any better. what is the recommended browser to use openstudy? if it's chrome, i'm going to laugh, because chrome has given me such a headache these past few days. i've been relieved to be rid of it, and i quite like firefox and its customization. i just wish openstudy could do something about the freezing.

Answer 14

I don't know any other way

i just installed firefox the other day, and i scanned my computer today, so i don't have a virus. i think it's just openstudy. it doesn't freeze for any other site.

Answer 20

Did you try another account though?

It used to be called Mozilla Aurora

Answer 22

Answer 23

Answer 24

Firefox actually does crash openstudy for me, that's why I stopped using it. Believe it or not, chrome is the browser I use, and never had problems with it on OS.

Answer 25

Firefox is horrible. Let's just say it does some wacky things for no reason.

Same issue here running the latest Firefox (Mercurial tree build at the time of typing this). Same issue for any other Gecko-based browser actually. I think it has something to do with the CSS (maybe too intensive on older computers?) or the JavaScript usage.

Dual core processor, clocked at 1.50GHz here.

Answer 31

clearing the cookies actually helped for me. it's not crashing/freezing as much as it was, making it easier to tolerate. thank you for the advice @paki :)
