This happens when on Facebook, Twitter, or just looking at something on the internet. Your canned answers don't show whats wrong or how to fix. this started after your last update, and going back doesn't help.

Your CPU may be overworked. Check out the above links.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?
