Hi,

After solving problem http://zoringroup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8900 by installing nvidia 304 driver,
new problem appeared with firefox. It freezes at random point. I noticed just after installing nvidia driver.
Looks like problem does not exist in midori but i would like to continue to use firefox since i am more familiar with.
I unticked "Use hardware acceleretion when available" in options and no result.
Or maybe is just bug in firefox.

Have you checked the version of Firefox - have you tried a further update from the Terminal (Ctrl+ Alt+ T)?:

Code:
sudo apot-get update && sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade -f


Make sure that your updates are pointing to 'Main Server' - to check this go to Menu | System Tools | Administration | Software Updater and click on 'Settings' button to check Sources tab.

you can also open Synaptic and type "firefox" in search then right click it and mark for re-installation then appy!. :D
