Pages Hang on 6.0 Beta Update

Once again, Firefox pushed an update that causes all of my pages to hang unless I move the mouse around the page. It doesn't matter if I click a link on a page, a bookmark, enter the URL in the address bar or enter a search, unless I wiggle the mouse around, the page loading indicator starts to change then just sits there and does nothing. As soon as I wiggle the mouse, the page loads.

It did this once before with another update during the 3.5 phase. What causes this and how do I make it stop???

No release version of Firefox is giving users a update propmt to 6.0 Beta 2 unless the build they are using was a Beta and therefore on the Beta channel. If you were using a 5.0 Beta and not final release then this would explain this.

If you want to use Firefox 5.0 and stay with just release updates then install Firefox 5.0 from Mozilla.

Thank you, but that doesn't address my problem at all. I am on the beta channel, I have 6.0, it updated a few days ago and ever since, unless I move the mouse over the page, the page does not load. It just hangs. Doesn't matter which page, doesn't matter how I click to get to that page.

If I've posted this in the wrong place, a better answer would be to point me to where I should post it. If I haven't, then I'm still waiting for an explanation or answer.
