After upgrading to Firefox 5 (even doing a fresh install) i have noticed that Firefox keeps Freezing up on me to the point that i have to forcefully close the application and restart, this is happening extreamy frequently almost to the point were i can use the progra for 2 minuites before it locks up.

i have also noted that it appears to be totally random no one thing that i am doing (other than browsing the internet) is causing the problem.

i have checked for crash reports but none are being created, iv even uninstalled Firefox (removing all personal data) and re-installed and it still happens.

Firefox for me is now un-usable and this is relay rather frustrating as ii use it as my main browser.

I have this problem too. It did it to me on FF4 as well, and it is actually a little better in FF5, but it's still incredibly annoying.

I find if I go to close the screen completely it unfreezes. But this is getting really annoying and I'm tempted to check around for another browser

Taking a stab at getting this fixed! I have disabled all but the most recent Java Console (6.0.25), and I have uninstalled or disabled all but the most basic (required for almost every website) plugins. Here is my list of Active plug-ins: iTunes Application Detector 1.0.1.1 Java Development Toolkit 6.0.250.6 Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U25 6.0.250.6 Microsoft Office 2010 14.0.4730.1010 Microsoft Office 2010 14.0.4761.1000 QuickTime Plugin 7.6.9.0 Shockwave Flash 10.3.181.26 Shockwave Director 11.5.9.620 Sliverlight Plugin 4.0.60531.0

Here is the Troubleshooting info from my browser:
