Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

i see this post

= http://superuser.com/questions/421638/firefox-hanging-issue-on-facebook

Same here, Firefox 12 under Windows and when trying to close the Facebook tab, it hangs for quite some time, unless I close and reopen Firefox entirely.

My suspicion is not on any Firefox extensions, but on an unfortunate combination of ban effects:

   For one, my internet connection is slow. Sometimes requests take ages to either start or time out.
   Secondly I suspect Facebook using an AJAX request in the OnUnload event, which basically delays the page close until the script decided whether closing is allowed or not.

The problem is, web designers these days can no longer imagine that people will notice these requests because they take so long on their connection.

so i install noscript , forbid firefox , it work perfect finally so any help ? thx
