Are you coming out with a fix to the constant hang problem with version 6? I get a 20 second hang every 15 minutes.
Ever since version 6 was released I have been getting a very bad hang every 15 minutes or so regardless of what I am doing, so I cannot pinpoint the issue. I hope that your new update strategy doesn't create more issues like this that werent an issue with previous versions. I am a web designer and love how I have everything organized in Firefox, which I have favored for years but am getting frustrated and am starting to look at alternative browsers.

Although I appreciate the fast answer those hang up issues don't apply. Again its the newest version of Firefox that is hanging up on me and i never had issues with the older versions. I just want to know if this will be solved soon or if I need to move on to a new browser. I am not going to troubleshoot a problem that wasn't a problem before the newest update.
Firefox may be doing some maintenance to some files.
Make sure that other cleanup or security software isn't preventing access to files in the Firefox Profile Folder
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
