Have you tried running Firefox in safe mode?

  • Firefox -> Help -> Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

Hope you update soon!

I hate to say so soon but safe mode seems to be ok for opening new windows. How can i tell which add-on is causing things to freeze?

If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe Mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I have the same issues. Experimentally I've come to the conclusion that its most likely Smartest Bookmarks Bars fault. Judging by the latest reviews on the site confirms this.
