I just updated Mac OS 10.8.3 to 10.8.5 on my MBPro. From that moment on, Firefox (24 or earlier) would not recover from a computer lid-closing sleep. Would not respond to mouse clicks or keyboard entries. Completely frozen. Only quitting and restarting FF would cure it.

Using Time Machine, I restored the MBP to OS 10.8.3 and the sleep and freeze issue is completely gone.

All other applications, including Safari, were fine under 10.8.5, but FF hated it.

Similar results anywhere else?

Thanks for the prompt reply. I replied through the Troubleshooting mechanism that none of the offered situations was similar to mine.

While in OS 10.8.5 I tested Firefox every way I could, including turning off extensions. FF continued to freeze everytime I woke the computer by opening its lid, whether it had been sleeping for 60 seconds, or 30 minutes.

Hard for me to do further testing right now, as I'm back in OS 10.8.3 and everything works normally. If you have suggestions about what else I can do, I'm extremely interested, as I need to get the OS updated asap.

Thanks again. Allan Tucker
