I'm using Windows 2000 Pro and Firefox 1.5b1

Firefox is blocked from time to time for short time, when for example I use
scroll bar in a window, or when I scoll with my mouse, or when I move the mouse
over the buttons, or when I am writing texte in a window like here for this
message, or when I am open a menu, or a contextual menu etc...

It do so when I am connected to Internet. If I am not connected it works
correctly. Then here I'm disconnected for writing this message...

To resume Firefox is always blocking for a shot time when I work with it and
only when it is connected to Internet.

This is very obstructing for a correct working with Firefox and it is stressing.

I am an data processing specialist and i tried all settings in Firefox for solve
this problem with no result. I am looking also for Windows 2000 settings and all
is good.

When I am using Internet Explorer I have not this problem.


Reproducible: Always

Maybe an unknown process on your computer using a lot of memory?

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
