Look at your list about not responding and you listed a fix but I'm really computer illiterate a lot.
Computer keeps telling me Mozilla Foxfire "not responding" and the cursor just turns to a circle and keeps on spinning, spinning and spinning. Eventually it stops after five minutes or more and you can continue. It keeps doing this often. Is it Foxfire problem which others say they have the same problem?

Edit : My apologies for the tone I used before. A simple 'It's Firefox, not Foxfire" would have been more appropriate.

You mentioned that you saw a solution, was it this article: Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix?
I agree that is covers a lot of different scenarios and it may be hard to know which one matches your problem.
So perhaps you could describe when this happens to you. For example, do you notice it on particular websites?
Also, could you try:
Testing in Firefox's Safe Mode: In Safe Mode, Firefox temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem.
If Firefox is not running: Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
- Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).
Any improvement? (More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode)
