Firefox "stops responding" quite often so I can't do anything for about 10 seconds, then I can resume.

It seems Firefox just gets "hung-up" often so I can't click on anything, and/or any action takes a long time. Then it will work fine for a few minutes, then stop responding again. I have to close it and start it again quite often, but that never fixes the problem. Thanks.

Try:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
