When I change pages it takes for ever to load, but if I move my mouse around it loads fast

Fire Fox has been acting weird lately. Every time I change to a new page, it just sits there, does not change some times for as long a a minute or two. The Indicator in the Tab shows no motion.

If I move the mouse around in the windows it will open almost instantly. It does this for every page. I didn't notice this in the last version of Fire Fox. Just after the last update to 4.1

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

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")
