Firefox keeps freezing, I've researched and tried multiple solutions all of which have failed.

I am using Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows 7. I always have at least 3 tabs open: Yahoo Mail, eBay, and PayPal; I also usually have Facebook and Twitter open, I have tired closing each tab individually to figure out if it was the website causing the issue and the issue still occurs. . I researched my problem for about an hour and found many people having similar problems. I think my Firefox is 'hanging' as mentioned here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20hangs. Unfortunately the few things I have tried have not solved my problem. I ran Firefox in safe mode with all plug-ins disabled and the problem still occurred. I checked to see if if it was the CPU usage, my computer normally uses 1-2% for normal browsing but when Firefox freezes it jumps up to 12%. These freezes occur even when Firefox is idle. For example, I am currently using Chrome to tell you about my problem and Firefox just froze for about 45 seconds. These freezes occur roughly every 5 minutes, sometimes less some times more. I am not using an AVG toolbar and my browser is not set on compatibility mode. Please let me know what there is I can do to solve this as Chrome and IE are not suitable for how I work.

The latest Firefox is 8.0 as of today, not everyone will see it available at the same time as serve loads have to be distribute.

Don't know if it will fix your main problem but chasing bugs might prove easier if current. If freezing is not fixed possibly this article but the problem mentioned is fixed in Firefox 8.0 The article is ...

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).
