Hey I've got the similar/s problem. Fedora 18 Firefox is very problematic for me. It locks up after opening a web page, any web page. Complains about the plugin but doesn't find it. Roger

What happens if you remove all plugins and extensions? I would suggest starting with Firefox alone - no extensions. If it still hangs then it's time to look at bug reports. I strongly suspect the issue is Fedora-specific - I'm running v18 here under Debian with no issues. I do not, however, install Flash on my machines.

Apparently there was a problem with the first flashplayer rpm download I downloaded again from the adobe page, did the install and it works, Firefox did not hang More tests this afternoon. Ta Roger
