    Firefox Issues maybe a hardware issue?

    For the past few weeks my computer has been spazzing out a bit saying that something is taking too much memory and going apeshit then closing. I initially thought it was a flash thing and disregarded it but it started happening much more frequently.

    I'm not sure if this is related to my current issue, but today I noticed my Firefox is acting kind of strange. If I have the plugins, noscript or ad block plus when I try to start up my firefox it takes a significant amount of time to load and freezes. Another thing is when I load a page that has flash it freezes before loading up as well. This never occurred in the past. I do know flash is pretty cpu intensive but my computer should be able to stomp it out no problem I've recently had a few brown outs which is why i'm concerned with damage.
    Relevant Computer specs:
    I7 3770k
    Nvidia GTX 570
    16 GB Corsair Ram 1600( although I believe clocked at 1333 as thats what the OS defaulted them too and never had any good luck putting them to 1600 ) 128 GB Corsair SSD
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate Edition my
    ABP is 2.4.1
    Noscript 2.6.8.12
    Firefox 26.0

    Oh god the post is not being organized according to how I space it out what's happening? Was there a change to BG or is this my browser acting up?

    edit: seems I can properly format posts now, maybe there was a database hiccup on BG? o.O

    Do you have McAfee SiteAdvisor installed?

    I dont believe so, I use eset nod 32 as my anti virus i tend to stay away from mcafee products.

    I noticed last night someone wrote a review saying the newest update to ad block plus caused a similar issue but the reviews been taken down. It seems to be fine without it for now without ad block plus. . .

    Trying to figure out why it would be causing it.

    Is it because firefox 26.0?

    Is it because the easy list changed?

    Would Net Neutrality affect this? If it did so soon?( I'm not sure how easy list works if it's communicating with a server and what not)

    Im starting to wonder if my SSD is going to be honest because I'm having issues with a few things that I shouldn't be (Vegas Pro 12), I disabled paging and all that jazz its only been a year since I got this so it's still under warranty.

    What's the process for determining whether or not your SSD is being poopy? Is it similar to HDD? What software should I use and etc.
