I found a lot of trouble using facebook when they forced me to accept their new look/platform. The browser would freeze continually and need restarting. Continually, all the time. I managed this by using firefox with fb and chrome for ne and other pages. Just dump the firefox and restart it as needed, multiple times in a session.

I found out what was the problem. My laptops security sw interacting with facebook is jamming the browser. So the securty sw is the problem? No, IMO. It is acting like it should and stopping intrusive sw, ie facebook.

Favebook tries to track ALL your browsing history.

As does google.
