Firefox's latest version is always freezing and crashing on me, particularly when I'm on Facebook, for some reason! I'd like to make it my default browser, but it takes so long to load sometimes over 5 minutes, that I can't do this...Can anyone help?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
