Firefox's new version "Quantum" freezes up regularly while I'm trying to play Mobsters 2030, a internet game I play. It lags and freezes up so it needs a restar
Everytime I log into a certain game I regularly play, Quantum freezes. When I type into the message areas there is a lag between typing and when the letters appear. The game freezes up on a regular basis, had to restart quantum 4 times this morning so far. It effectively prevents play on this game. (Mobsters 2030) If I have a second window open, that also freezes up. I routinely listen to internet radio at the same time. This freezing isn't always there, as it was happening yesterday. I synced everything and optimized it. Nothing seemed to help though. This started yesterday when I upgraded to Quantum. Lags are bad enough, when your playing a video game, but extreme freeze ups are terrible! I end up having to close all windows and restart firefox and log in again. My computer has plenty of memory and normally runs at top efficiency. I'm even getting a slight lag here while typing, but it is not as extreme.

Are these by any chance Flash based? The radio player and the game? It could be an issue on their end with the Flash compatibility and frankly in this day and age, they shouldn't be using Flash anyway. For example about two Flash updates ago, there was a horrible refresh rate issue that was resolved in followup Flash updates, something to that effect might be contributing to what you are seeing.
