Up dated to 10, now when I go to Facebook, FIREFOX freezes and stops responding, almost happens immediately if I click on scroll bar on right. Didn't have problem with version 9. Updated shockwave, flash .net, silver light, etc. Windows XP SP3

May not be related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated

  • Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
  • When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)
