Is that happening within the first 5 minutes or so when you launch Firefox for the first time each day?
Well, it happens in the first 5 minutes after I open Mozilla and sometimes is happening, sometimes not. It doesn't have an order. For example, I open Mozilla Firefox & I write in the URL bar Facebook adress. When it starts to load the adress to bring me to the facebook log-in page it gets stucked for few seconds, not like "Not responding" stucked at all, so computer as well for few seconds I can't even move mouse for 3-4 seconds. I am sure is not an issue of my computer because in first place is new & on the other hand chrome never did this problem to me, only mozilla & I don't understand why, never faced this problem. Thanks for helping and answering to my post btw !
Once a day Firefox will look for updates for itself and for extensions; then there is the safe browsing file update which happens on first launch of the day and possibly more often upon launch throughout the day if you're closing and then re-opening Firefox.
Also the info that populates the default home page - about:home - in the first 30 sec after the Firefox windows first is displayed can cause a "cursor seizing" lag shortly upon startup at times, depending upon what Mozilla is promoting at the time in the brandLogo area and the "snippets container" parts of the default home page. The "Firefox embracing the globe" brandLogo is frequently replaced with an animated image (similar to what Google does at times on their search main page) to "celebrate" something or other for a few days at a time every few months. I don't see that with most of my Profiles because I use a different home page, but there have been times when I was using about:home that I either hid the brandLogo and Snippets (and did a 'null' for the servers where that data is retrieved from to "lock" those areas of about:home from showing that 'garbage') or I temporarily changed the home page until that promo ended.
Well, so I guess you're saying there's nothing abnormally about the freezing ?
