I have been experiencing numerous problems with Firefox and stability. The most recent problem I have had is with hanging and not responding forcing me to force close the browser.

This seems to happen after a short time with pages opened but does not happen all the time. I could not navigate to any webpages as the browser did not respond. Below is the troubleshooting information.

I got this too, and I found it to be Flash Player. Try closing the FlashPlayerPlugin_XX_X_XXX_XXX.exe The X can be any digit. If the browser then unfreezes you know it's the flash player, but I didn't find a fix yet
