Unique prob - often when I Right-click a link in a page, FF goes "Not Resp" for up to 2 mins, then most often Re Starts with the stalled tab set (of the window that I clicked in) moving to last place on the browser task bar. Roughly 1 in 5 times when it happens, FF crashes. Done copious searching here & elsewhere & it would appear this is unique, as I can't see this exact problem mentioned. I have the latest FF version & assume all add ons update at that time or auto do so, (all set to default). Have also updated to latest "flash / shock wave".

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
