Hi all,

My Windows XP computer is installed with .NET framework 3.5 SP1 before and it is all fine. Yesterday I downloaded a program which requires .NET framework 4 to run so I installed .NET framework 4 too. Installation completed and required reboot and I did. After reboot, I started Firefox (ver 36.0.4) at first as usual. Firefox remains non-responding for about 1-2 minutes before I can click on any bookmark.

If i am quick enough to click on a website in my bookmarks, then Firefox hangs for that 1-2 minutes, And then an error message comes out like: scripts not responding chrome://browser/content/browser.js:10257

If I just wait (not clicking any website in bookmark) when I start Firefox then this error message won't come out.

I tried removing .NET framework 4 then reboot. Everything works fine, no hanging. When I install again, it happens.

Thanks for helping

I could not reproduce this, however I did find that there was an add on that helped with the previous framework: [FFClickOnce add-on]

However, from your description it does not sound like the two programs work together.
