When I open more than one tabs and browse in this tabs then the Firefox 4 browser is not responding. It mostly happens when I browse any kinds of download page of any sites. A few time later it automatically solved and I can browse again. What can I do now?

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Are tabs still loading when that happens?

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

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

No. When it happens then tabs are stopped loading.
