My firefox Freezes randomly! I'll be working on the website for 2, 5 or 15 minutes. Then i'll click in the page to get to the next page, and it will just freeze! I already tried removing the "preloading" feature, so why does this keep happening?

My firefox Freezes randomly! I'll be working on the website for 15 minutes, (google places, yahoo mail). Then i'll click in the page to get to the next page, and it will just freeze! I already tried removing the "preloading" feature, so why doesn't this keep happening? My firefox at home, (version 3) does not have this happen! I'm afraid of upgrading to version 3 because of all these problems. I use FireFox for work so i really need it and I'm wasting crucial time restarting websites and updating my websites/blog/business listings from scratch. not right! I also notice it happens a lot to Harley Davidson website.

freezing at regular intervals:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/

Install add-on, run at least the option mentioned in the article, I ran them all. When finished you can uninstall the extension, all without taking taking Firefox down, The extension is one of the new JetPack extensions. (Firefox 8 --Nov 8, 2011-- should not have this particular problem).

I installed the Places thing and ran the "expire, execute" command so we'll see what happens. I'm leaving this Question as open for now. Really guys, Mozilla should take more care and time before releasing new browsers. Make sure everything WORKS before we all upgrade to the new version. I don't want to waste precious time AT WORK getting frozen randomly on websites. There should be no need to restart, and loose all my work, over 20 times a day.

I was using the Harley Davidson website and it just froze AGAIN. Sorry, but this fix didn't help. Neither did disabling pre-loading (don't earlier). This is rediculous. As much as I dislike IE because it's a bloody disorganized mess, i'm switching until FIREFOX gets its game together. Good bye.
