1249698 2011-12-19 22:36:00 More so on my laptop than my desktop . It at times (most often on a couple of sites, wondering if bad coding) will stop loading pages, then hang, freeze and need killing . The process carries on sometimes .
I then re open ffox, only to have the tabs generally re open, but not load and the process repeat . If it asks to be restored, I can do that but no matter how many or how few tabs from the previous session I restore, they sit and infinitely load .

It happens more on my laptop than my desktop, with minimal add ons installed (main ones are the defaults like java, and ad block and a couple of video downloaders) which have all been stable up until recently .

I've done the whole 'clear everything' on both the laptop and desktop, did nothing for it but make mum angry when she had to remember her passwords .

I've installed chrome for now but I really do just like firefox . Any suggestions? I'm running 8 . 0 and it's all up to date n such .

Uninstall it, kill all traces of your profile and then reinstall it and set up without it using anything from your old profile.

1249700 2011-12-19 23:02:00 seems fine in safe mode. i'm guessing it's an add on that's gone rogue. (completely forgot about safe mode, hah)

I'll have to kick em out one by one till I find the broken one.
