My Firefox freezes every few minutes, what might be the cause?

I have firefox up to date, all my add ons and extensions up to date. Started up the browser with no add ons and its still freezes. Any help would be great. This is very annoying!

Probably an over active security or "cleaning" program that's kicking in every few minutes and messing with Firefox.
