Scandisk and Defragmenting: When what time is when

Over the last week I've been having major death of instances of Firefox, always seeming to take place when I'm hitting a site that's involving the browser displaying more than what it was originally designed for by default.

The problem's been sporadic, sometimes occurring when I'm multi-tabbed, while at other times when I'm navigating Wordpress blogs with accesses to too much 'toonage' in the sidebar. All after a recent instance of Windows attempting to update itself.

Did my homework, researched, pulled out the King James Version and held it against my hard drive. God told me to seek opportunity elsewhere.

He always sends me his lightwork, for some unknown reason.

At the time of this posting, I've successfully scandisked my harddrives; all three of them; as well as defragmenting.

If it's done the trick, it's my fault for improper housekeeping. If it doesn't, the next step is to pull Firefox out and do a clean install...even though this also occurred in using MSIE as well during similiar navigation of pages I visit. The only other possible thing would be uninstalling all my plugins both browsers share.

I'd just as soon slick the hard drive clean, but I wouldn't learn anything. Luckily, I've got a fresh bottle of Mountain Dew next to me and the kids are in bed.
