Since upgrading to windows 10 a while back, Firefox freezes and becomes unresposive, donst matter whether i have open tab open or many, this happens on both machines intermitantly, sometimes trying to open Firefox dosnt work first time, after waiting several minutes click again and two windows open, I have even done fresh install on desktop incase there was a fault in the install itself.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
