I have been using Firefox for many years without much trouble. A few days ago firefox shut down unexpectedly. When I tried to open it back up, it took about 5 minutes. It came up with a blank screen and after several more minutes my tabs finally loaded. Everytime I tried to click on anything in the firefox window, it would go into "not responding" mode.
