my web browsers keep hanging

This is a discussion about my web browsers keep hanging in the Everything Linux category; I'm using red hat 9 now and whenever i use either mozilla , firefox or galeon for some time, it will hang. But when i use konquerer or opera, it doesnt hang. I was thinking that maybe its the GECKO problem with my installation.

I used RH 9 and now Fedora. These things happen from time to time and I've never found out why and thought it would take too much time trying to find a solution.
 
Quick solution: Save your Mozilla/Firefox/Galeon/Epiphany/Thunderbird bookmarks, delete their respective configuration files in your home directory, then uninstall and reinstall. Then put your saved bookmarks into the new directory the reinstall created. I put all my plugins in the Mozilla-*.*.* directory in usr/lib for just such an occasion..
