Hello,

Please update to latest version and make sure that this also does not happen with extensions/addons disabled.

Was there an improvement when you disabled extensions?

A recent update to Firefox version 45.02 has resulted in my browser becoming "non-responsive " each time I open a new tab by clicking appropriate links. This seems to be a communication breakdown between internet servers, but I have Never experienced any such problems with my ISP or earlier versions Firefox, of which I have used both for several years. I can operate one window without Firefox stalling, but every time I open any additional tabs, it becomes "non-responsive" and takes several minutes to respond properly. Too slow for my preference. As I said, older versions never had this issue. If disabling Addons is a prescribed solution, I would NOT want to use Firefox as my DEFAULT browser any longer for THAT reason. I need all Addons enabled for my normal web activity.
