Firefox freezes until I minimize the window, then restore it. Why?

Each time I use Firefox now I cannot get it to respond to the mouse until I minimize the browser, then restore it. It will then work for a few selections within a window in the browser, then freeze again. I had even thought it might be the mouse, but this does not happen if using IE, or any other application.

Since this PC is an old, spare, and only has a 15 GB HD with Windows XP Pro upgraded from ME I am using version 3.5.9. Firefox browser. Until I am able to repair my primary PC with a replacement motherboard, I need this one working properly.

Any suggestions?
