When I try to use Google Chrome with FireFox installed my computer slows down and also crashes. How can I use both together?
I have tried several times to use Firefox and Google Chrome on my computer at the same time. When I do the computer runs slow, page scrolling is erratic, and occasionally it will crash. If I uninstall Chrome the computer returns to normal. How can I fix this issue?
