Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Lisa Pearson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When trying to load a web page, firefox will just freeze and get the (Not
Responding) at the top.  You then get the report this error and it kills the
window.  When you try to open it back up, it either won't open because it's
still running in the task manager or I get the "it's already in use by another
profile".  In either case I end up having to reboot.  I do this on a nightly
basis.  A friend of mine has this problem also, so it's not just my system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
There is no specific way to reproduce the problem.  There is not specific web
site, just does it nightly after using it for a while.  I have already had to
reboot my puter for this reason and will probably have to later on in the morning.

Actual Results:  
NA

Expected Results:  
NA

you may have a bad extension causing th problem.
close Firefox and open in Firefox-safemode (windows startmenu) and see if it
reoccurs.
If it doesn't you'll have to figure out which extension causes the problem and
uninstall or update it

I get the 'not responding' or my browser hangs for about 10 to 20 seconds then reloads. I found that it was happening after I loaded Service Pack 2. I've done it twice now. Can't figure it out.
