My browser suddenly freezes up everytime I go online. I've only had Firefox for a few weeks and it was fine until the last couple of weeks. Any suggestions?

No matter what website I seem to be in, within a couple of minutes, it just freezes up & I cannot do anything else. No more new browsers or tabs can be opened. I have to go into the Task Manager & close it out and open a new browser & use it for a short time before it freezes up.

Take a look at the Firefox Hangs article. It should have some useful information that may help fix this situation. If that does not help, you may need to try Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode and if it works, try the following step:

Deactivate all plugins in Safe Mode. If Firefox works alright in without Safe Mode, then activate each plugin one at a time until the problem appears again. It will probably be this plugin that is causing the problem.
