Description

[Arpad HORVAT-KAVAI]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Since I updated Firefox to the newest versions on Friday it has been constantly giving me trouble. It becomes non-responsive 80% of the time and I cannot detect any specific pattern of action or a specific web site that would cause this. Occasionally if I wait long enough (5-10 minutes) Firefox will sometimes respond, but not always, then I have to force a shutdown.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Firefox become non-responsive.
2.Sometimes I can scroll, but I cannot switch between tabs.
3.If I wait long enough (5-10 minutes) Firefox will act "normal" again.




I hav also noticed that I cannot use one of my faovrite extensions, SessionSaver, even though I have updated to the nevest version.

I have the same problem with the latest version of Firefox on an HP nc6400 Centrino Duo laptop. The same version is running fine on an older Sony Vaio and I am using goggle browser sync between the two. The HP with Firefox will hang with no discernable pattern. Sometimes on startup, sometimes after 20-30 minutes of use.

I have the same problem with Firefox, and Camino. I can't "make" it happen. It seems to become unresponsive after I've been using it for a while, but even that isn't a constant factor. It doesn't have to be a certain page. Nothing seems to be consistant aside from my frustration. 
This weekend I've been bouncing through browsers trying to find one that doesn't do it, and so far it's come down to Opera. I haven't had it hang. YET. 
I like Firefox more though, so how do I get it to stop?

I'm on a Mac. OSX. Newest updates of Firefox and Camino.

do you still see this problem using Firefox 3 and a clean profile?
If you do, please comment.
