Whenever I leave Firefox sitting for a while, Firefox stops working. I have to log out and log in again to get it working.
After the latest update, if I leave my computer sitting for a while, when I come back and try to click on something in Firefox, nothing happens. Usually I have to come out of Firefox and log in again, which is really irritating if I have a lot of tabs up and I'm called away.

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions. If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow Update button or a red Update now button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
hello h_e_day, a general reset of the browser can also be a simple solution for the issue you've described.
