FF 6.02 freezes for 20-30 seconds; websites sometimes very slow to load. Didn't have these problems until I installed latest update

Firefox often freezes, when opening websites; stalls for 20-30 seconds before responding. This happens on various websites..nothing in particular. This problem began after I download and installed the latest security upgrade--6.0.2

This is definitely a Firefox issue. I have IE9, Chrome, and Safari and none of them freeze like this. It happens almost every time I go to a menu item and it also happens about every 10 to 15 minutes of surfing. Please fix!

As a temporary get around, dare I say it? I'm using Google Chrome which doesn't have this glitch in it. Been doing so for a couple of days now and no problems at all. I've gone back to Firefox a few times and the two or three second freeze every 10 or 15 seconds resumes, so I'll maybe check Firefox in a few months and see if there is any improvement. Or maybe, I'll be so used to Chrome by then I won't bother.

Hope this suggestion helps.

I think you may be right (switching at least temporarily to another browser), as it appears FF still hasn't fixed this problem. I have not used Chrome before, but have thought about trying out. Is there much of a "learning curve" with Chrome? I've gotten so used to FF.......

I got this problem too. No matter which version i use (6, 7, 8 alpha) i got totally random freezes every few minutes. I tried disabling everything in the browser, nothing helps.

V7 is the same to worse. I went back to V5 for now. I like FF add ons so I am not anxious to change to another browser, but probably will if they can't fix this problem.

I try loading some web pages and after waiting for about 30 seconds firefox tells me it can't find the server. When I click on the refresh button presto, the page is right there. Also, some pages take forever to load so, although I've never liked it, I've started using IE9. No problems. Never, ever had a problem with firefox until I installed version 6 hoping subsequent versions would fix the issue. I guess I was wrong.
