when attempting to open new tab Firefox freezes .. appears to be downloading,, little dot in tab is moving but nothing happens - have to use task master to close Firefox and reload - usually restore session works and opens all tabs including one I was attempting to open Sometimes I have several tabs open but also happens when I have only one or two tabs open

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
