Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[redcrossrobbery]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.2) Gecko/20100316 Firefox/3.6.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.2) Gecko/20100316 Firefox/3.6.2

I'm running Windows 7, and my Firefox has been acting terribly lately. Typing this up now, I have an entire sentence done before I can see what it is I am typing. If I go too fast, the screen whites over, and says not responding. It's NOT my internet connection, because Chrome works fine the entire time.

I also CANNOT minimize, maximize, or close Firefox by the bar in the top right corner. I can close to through right clicking the Firefox icon, or through task manager, but I shouldn't have to. The top right "X" should work. Also, when I click on of them, it starts to blink frantically, but nothing ever happens.

Another thing, when I play videos, like Hulu or Youtube, they will only play if I am constantly moving my mouse, otherwise they just freeze.

Looking over Google, I see it is a common problem, but no sign of a solution that I could find.

AND, right click doesn't work. Nothing will show up, just the outline of the box.

I have also ran system restores, and virus scans (AVG) and I can't find anything wrong.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Opened my Firefox
2. Just did normal ****
3. It happens sometimes, and doesn't others.
Actual Results:  
Just being on seems to do it.

Expected Results:  
Ummm... not **** up? It should respond to the top right buttons, it shouldn't require mouse movement to play movies, it shouldn't lag my typing, and it shouldn't remove my use of right clicking.
