since a few weeks (months maybe) TV causes my browser to freeze when opening a TV topic or html email. i've tried several things, sofar no luck. i'm on the latest mozilla firefox version, OS is windows 7 professional. any suggestions?

None I am afraid but I do have the same problem and I am interested in the answer.

I am on Firefox 27.0.1 and Windows 7 ultimate.

Never had freezing on Chrome, but today when I used Firefox it said my name and password is wrong, so couldn't sign in!

Firefox, i cant sign in ,and Thai Visa page loading get held up badly by some WW9 site and facebook nonsence....<deleted> is WW9.?. I can see on screen whats holding things up,and that's a killer.even with 28Megs.

Have you guys tried to run Firefox in Safe Mode

Click Help , Restart with Add-ons disabled

Or create a new Firefox profile and try with the new profile.

I just did a Firefox restart in the safe mode and it leapt into life with the add-ons disabled.

Now which one or more of those nasty little buggers caused the problems?

Edit

I have disabled them all and I will try again in the morning.

^ it could also be a combination of add-ons. For example my GPS add-on (needed for communication with my GPS and some websites) and my download manager add-on refuse to work together. So because I don't need the GPS add-on that much I just created a separate Firefox profile which will only start that specific add-on, and in the other profiles this add-on is disabled.

To create separate profiles, just look at the 2nd link in my original post

I got some adverts this morning so I activated Adblock plus and AD block and the ads have now stopped and the speed is just as it used to be.

I also have but disabled

Accelerate tab 1.4.2

Advanced system care surfing protection 1.0

Avast online security 9.0.2013. 75

Garmin communicator 4.0.4

PDF Architect converter for Firefox 1.0

Skype click to call 6.11.0.13307

@all: thx for the infos. i'll check a couple of things in firefox as suggested. will get back with results asap.

ps. i did notice that AVAST causes major issues on some sites. i have AVAST. example, using WETRANSFER (which i use often) is impossible with AVAST now. i mailed WETRANSFER and they say there's nothing they can do and suggested to use another antivirus.

doing the firefox RESET has worked. pc acts stable again. thx!
