With Firefox versions 8 and now 9, Firefox frequently freezes up. The spinning color wheel comes up.
I use Mac OSX 10.5.8. When I try to force quit Firefox after it freezes up, my computer freezes up. The spinning color wheel applies to everything. I can't do anything. Only choice I have is to manually shut off my computer.

- Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
- When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)
Check and tell if its working.
Thank you, mha007. I will try your suggestions.
