Firefox hangs after 5 to 10 minutes of use. I am running to the same problem on two different computers. I am running FF 3.6.13 under Windows 7, 64-bit. I have all plugins disabled. The active extensions are DownThemAll 2.0, Flashblock 1.5.14.2, and McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.3. I am running McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0i and Spyware Doctor - but not the antivirus engine.

I am running Java Version 6 Update 23 (build 1.6.0_23-b05). If I disable JavaScript I do not seem to have the problem, but I cannot use the features on a lot of sites if I disable it.

This problem is not unique to any particular WebSite.

I have tried all the solutions on the trouble shooting page. MS Process Explorer seems to indicate that Firefox is in a loop continuously starting new threads. The following are stack traces from two successive threads:
