There seems to be a bug in the latest firefox release, firefos stops responding and freezes after a very short period of inactivity.

I tried the fix restore button and nothing happened. The problem is on at least 2 of our computers. We have to close the program and then reopen and for a while it works, then stops responding,

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?


Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
