firefox is constantly enters 'not responding' mode. it seems to happen most often when I try to scroll or click. This is literally happening every 5 minutes or so and takes 30-40 seconds to respond after that happens. HELP! What can I do about this?

every few minutes when using firefox, it just stops responding just as I about to click or scroll or open a link or any action. Then I have to wait 30-40 seconds for it to respond over and over again.

Have you tried to run it in safe mode

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode

This will eliminate all plugins ect.

If that works and you dont get any freezing then we know its to do with a addon.
