YouTube, Google translate, and Gmail suddenly causing my Firefox to freeze-up when I open them up. Have to close it via task manager. Opening FF in safemode doesn't help. Taskmanager doesn't have it using any CPU while frozen.

I have tried a few google searches without problems and used google translate earlier, will quickly try that again in a new tab - yes that is still working for me too.
