Since I upgraded to V19.0, Firefox becomes unresponsive after less than 2 minutes of use. How can I correct this?

It doesn't matter which websites I go to. The browser freezes in less than 2 minutes. This started happening immeidately after upgrading to version 19.0.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
