After my homepage is up and I enter a link either through bookmarks or other the blue circle starts, message appears in blue band at top saying "Mozilla Firefox is not responding". I have a hard time trying to get out but then a drop down box appears asking if I want to close or wait. I choose close and it will close. Then if I try again I need to do a restore. Even when I do that the same thing happens again.

How can I fix?

That if from the computer system

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?
