Please explain the problem in detail. What happens? What is/are the exact error message(s) ?

Start Firefox in <b>Safe Mode</b> to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if <b>hardware acceleration</b> or <b>userChrome.css</b> is causing the problem. *switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes *do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect. *https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-windows-in-safe-mode/ *https://www.7tutorials.com/4-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-10

No error messages. The computer just locks up for 10-15 seconds. Really frustrating. The only thing I can do is exit and start over and then it happens again about every 15-30 minutes.
