I have a new windows 8 computer and I just downloaded FF 32.0.2 but whenever I have a window open and I put my computer to sleep FF stops responding upon waking it. Found an old help thread from a year ago with people having the same issue, but it was unsolved.

hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try updating your graphics driver, or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Ran all updates available to me and disabled hardware acceleration but I'm still having this issue. Know of anything else I might try?

could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum?

thanks, can you try reproducing the problem while keeping your addons disabled once too? otherwise i'd recommend filing a bug report about that issue at bugzilla.mozilla.org so that developers will take a closer look at it.
