After looking at these post there doesn't seem to be a fix for this situation and my frustrations are mounting so it might be time for me to make the move back to IE although this is the reason I left IE several yrs ago..

</p>Last update, 3.6.8 seems to have resolved the hangup issue.

</p><p>When I start it up for the first time of the day, it hangs. After forcibly shutting it down and restarting it, it doesn't hang again for the rest of the day.
</p><p>This tells me that the problem is related to firefox losing the focus during startup and not being able to re-start for that lag.
</p>come on firefox guys, fix it!

</p><p>Compatibility...
</p><p>Tick run this program in compatibility mode for:
Windows Vista (SP2)...

It doesn't seem to matter what website I am on: msn, facebook, google, you get the picture. Or if I try to open another window. Firefox is not responding. The only way to get things accomplished is to start my task manager and shut down the window that way.

I have lost many hours of work this week trying everything: disabling extensions, creating new profile, uninstalling completely and reinstalling, testing by running in safe mode, clearing all history, basically everything in the Mozilla troubleshooting.
</p><p>Ready to use Chrome, no plans to use IE.
</p><p>More generally: prefer simplicity over feature-packed instability.
