My firefox freezes
So lately I've facing a crashing problem that is really strange ! while im using Firefox, sometimes suddenly the Firefox freezes and became a white window with no controls ! and i can't close it, i wait for minutes without any thing happens and if i clicked the close window from the taskbar , the attached windows appear. Any ideas?

Is this with all websites/pages, some, a few?
What were you doing at the time? surfing, watching a clip, reading something . . . .
When does it happen the first time?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

it is for different websites, sometimes surfing the internet, Facebook, gmail , sometimes youtube ... Well the first time this happened after i bought a new laptop Dell Vostro 3590, I thought it is because of an old driver, but i updated all of them, with the same problem. I never use Google Chrome so I don't know if it is the same problem or it is something related to Firefox I tried Safe mode, I tried without add-ons, and i even Refresh it with the same problem still!
See if the problem happens with other web browsers.

Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/
in order to check the integrity of your RAM?
You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.
Do you let Windows handle the page file or did you set a fixed size ?
If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file.
