Browser occasionally freezes when I scroll over the links on my Bookmark Toolbar. It comes back after 10-15 seconds.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and it did not work. I have also tried disabling all my add-ons and still had this problem.

So no one know how to fix this? It's very annoying having my browser freeze every other time I try and go to another site I have bookmarked.

Updating Java seems to have fixed the problem for me.

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
