Most Firefox hangs are caused by either a plugin or an extension.

  1. Check for outdated plugins on the plugin check page.
  2. If the problem continues after updating plugins, an extension may be the cause. Follow the steps at Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems.
