Is Firefox buggy right now?

[Kitalrez]

Ok, so I'm using Firefox as my main browser. For awhile now, I'll randomly get some completely different website than the one I'm trying to access. For instance, when I try to access Greg Dean's http://www.reallifecomics.com/, I'll get something odd, like Xeal webhosting. When I tried to access the Wiki at http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/index.php/Main_Page I ended up with Photobucket's website or something like that. I also got some really odd Consys website or something similarly named trying to access Yahoo! awhile back.

I've scanned my compy for viruses, Adaware and Spybot both turned up no spyware on my machine multiple times. Norton Internet Security isn't informing me of any hacking attempts. I've had my router release DHCP and restart a few times, so I'm pretty sure it's not that. So, er... is Firefox all stocked up on crazy right now or something? It didn't do this when I first started using it, and nothing really runs screwed up other than just a few random webpages every now and again. I'm not thinking I have a worm or virus, unless it's a really low-key one that only proves annoying at random intervals.

I'm using Firefox right now... completely updated, no problems with it except for the rare crash usually due to a plugin. I would check your Plugins directory (below) for anything that looks unusual.

Default Plugins Directory:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins

Yeah I crash alot when I hit Flash based plugins and the browser itself seems slower than usual. So yeah I think they have some kinks to work on.

For a few days I had a problem loading this place. It would take me exactly 3 tries to open the main page. No more, no less, but the problem seemed to resolve itself. It might have started when I updated firefox. Don't remember any details exactly other than the 3 tries, as a lot of stuff's been going on lately.

I haven't had a problem with it at all. Then again I don't do much that requires any sort of media plugin while at work. So doesn't sound like I'm putting it through the kinds of paces you guys are putting it through, but I've not noticed a single slow down.

Only "test" I'm putting it through would come from all the extensions that I use. GMail, FFXI Finder, Vana'clock, gSpace, ForecastFox, Download Statusbar (Which I'm really liking!), and a few other.

Wish they'd install the new IE here at work, so I could at least test the differences.
