Every minute or so Firefox hangs up and displays (Not Responding)
Please help. Each time I try and use FF, it periodically stops working about once every minute for about 10 to 15 seconds. Sometimes it will display a white screen and at the top of the blue bar it will say (Not Responding) after Firefox. It begins working again after the 10 seconds or so. I have increased my virtual memory, but this did not fix it.
Also, each time I load FF, the session restore screen appears, despite having a normal shutdown previously.
I have not seen this problem explained earlier, and hope that someone can help. Thanks

Try this. It worked for me.
In sort you should either do one of the following...
1) Open the profile folder the Firefox uses to store its files and delete whatever files with the name sessionstore*.js (*=any number) every time the freezes reappear. The easiest way to navigate to the profile folder containing sessionstore.js is by clicking on Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Open Containing Folder.
Or/and
2) Disable the session store altogether. This does not disable the history, just the ability to restore the previous session after a restart of the browser. To do so, in an empty tab write on the address bar about:config and press enter. Find the browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo and set them to 0.
Search for:
places.sqlite (history stuff+favicons etc etc)
urlclassifier3.sqlite (google phishing url's, will be rebuild)
Must be somewhere in your profile directory...DELETE them.
Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.
I had the same problem and finally got tired of waiting for the hangups to stop or at least speed up enough so I could use it , so I got into fixing it.
It was the plugins. I ended up after a process of elimination, disabling Quicktime and Realplayer plugins and this fixed my problem. Like I am running a new PC it is so fast now. Hope this helps .

I'm having the same problems and more ever since upgraded FF. I get lengthy hangups, multisite closings, stop script scenarios almost every time I open a page, once even trying to open ' FF and most response times are very slow . Right now I am really disgusted with Mozilla and I am searching for another browser. Any suggestions?
