About every 20 times I run Firefox, my homepage will load, but any link i click
or address i type in won't load. The activity circle in the upper right corner
of the browser (you know what i'm talking about) will spin for a half a second
and then stop with the page still at the homepage. Restarting firefox solves the
problem for about 20 firefox startups.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start firefox
2.Repeat until problem surfaces
3.

Actual Results:  
It occured after 17 starts.

Expected Results:  
Loaded the pages.

I've already tried that, I even created a new profile. Problem still occurs.

Can you try in Firefox -safe-mode for a while and see if it reoccurs ?

Windows Start Menu -> Firefox -> safe mode

Comment 4

[Phil]

It did not reoccur in Safe Mode (yet)

Comment 5

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

If it won't reoccur it is most definitly one of your extensions.
You may either need to update or remove one of them
