Constant Freezing

Post by BlazeNS »

Following a series of like five updates in the same week by Dell in the middle of May, my firefox has been freezing and going "not responding" like every five seconds or with every other click of the mouse. I haven't a clue why it is happening but nothing else with my computer his having an issue, it is just the firefox browser that is having any issue. ](*,) Closing and reopening the browser only helps for about half an hour, before it starts all over again, sometimes not even that long.

Have you tried starting Firefox in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
If no improvement using Safe Mode, do you have the same problem if you create a new profile and test it with no extensions or non-default themes installed?
