Firefox freezes almost everytime I try to do anything on the internet. Whether its just loading a new page on facebook or clicking a button on a flash based game. I'm constantly waiting for my browser to go back to being responsive. The freezes last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.

As a temporary get around, dare I say it? I'm using Google Chrome which doesn't have this glitch in it. Been doing so for a couple of days now and no problems at all. I've gone back to Firefox a few times and the two or three second freeze every 10 or 15 seconds resumes, so I'll maybe check Firefox in a few months and see if there is any improvement. Or maybe, I'll be so used to Chrome by then I won't bother.

Hope this suggestion helps.
