Hi mariebeech-

It sounds like you are having problems with Firefox hanging. When Firefox hangs, it stops responding to your clicks and keystrokes and doesn't seem to be doing anything. Also, the mouse becomes a spinning wait cursor when it's over the Firefox window. This article gives you solutions to Firefox hangs depending on when they happen.
