Firefox wont close properly after a while. Buttons dont work.
I'm having a problem with Firefox recently. Everytime I open Firefox and leave it open for more than 5 minutes the program wont close properly. The red X/minimize buttons stop working. I can close tabs though.
There are two ways for me exit firefox when this happens
1: Clciking file--> exit 2: opening the Taskmanager and stopping Firefox.
Anyone got any idead on what's causing this? Plugin clash? What's the best way to figure it out if it is?

Nah, It's not really a hang, as such. I can keep surfing away for hours with this problem. It only is a problem once I open a menu like the preferences window/addons window or go to close Firefox. If I close Firefox by using the File-->exit method with multiple tabs open it asks me if I want to Save and quit, quit or cancel. It then wont let chose from those. the menu icons highlight but my mouse click doesn't register and wont let me select anything.
keeps happening to me too...it get's frustrating because it used to be an occasional thing, now after the update to 3.6.13 it's happening every time!
sometimes it goes away after awhile only to come back later on...
would downloading firefox 4 help? i didn't want to download, since it's still in the testing process, so i'm afraid there might be even more problems....
the same here. i use multiple display`s and using a program called UltraMon to manage them better , can it interfere?
Or maybe add-on compatibly plugin can do this ?
edit: is some of you using real player plugin, i found that it is the source on my end.
