Firefox hangs when clicking Tools - Options and when trying to download images.
On any website I visit when I try to download an image, Firefox hangs and must be restarted. I researched and tried all of the solutions found, but none has worked.
When I open Internet Explorer, downloading works just fine. It is only Firefox that has this problem.

Removing the mimeTypes.rdf file helped to upload files to photo bucket without Mozilla hanging, but it still hangs when trying to download image files or when clicking tools/options.
Try to reset the preferences:
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
