</p><p>And we'll have a fix for it in the next Firefox update as well.
</p><p>Thanks for the nice response!
</p>I might have discovered the solution without starting over with all your places and bookmarks.
Right2011-10-14T01:25:51-07:00imajakovhttps://support.mozilla.org/nl/questions/869827?page=2#answer-260816<p>I might have discovered the solution without starting over with all your places and bookmarks.
</p><p>Right after i installed 7.0.1 over a week ago,every 10-30 min When i would be watching videos online, it would freeze for 20-30 seconds. Firefox would say ( Not responding) both firefox and the plugin container process would be very large memory files. I tried to go back to Firefox 5.0. No avail it would still freeze.I tried to disable the plugin container . no good. I tried to adjust memory or cache or plugin settings in “about:config”.Nothing fixed it!
</p><p>I finally discovered why my Firefox 7.01 was periodic hanging fix. It is something to do with some of your personal files. download this this add on and install it
<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/</a>
</p><p>or you can Google "places maintenance Firefox"
</p><p>After you install the add on, restart Firefox.go to "tools", then "add ons" and then click “extensions” tab ,then click' options" on the "places maintenance" entry. choose "ALL' or just "expire" and hit "execute", then wait until its done., restart Firefox. should be fine then and all my bookmarks, customizations ,settings, and history stays untouched!
</p><p>After i did this my Firefox did not freeze once for over 3 days straight. Might not work for everyone. I already read that Mozilla is aware of the problem and are working on a fix it in the full version of 8( the 8 beta did not fix the problem for me) . But they said this is a good temporary fix at least,( might be permanent)
</p><p>For me at least ,Firefox works fine in 7 now. perfect actually.And many people i saw on similar forums had similar problems.
</p><p>Enjoy. Hope this helped

Based on your reports we've been able to reproduce the symptoms that many people have been reporting in this question and others like this. The main symptom in question is that Firefox freezes for anywhere from 20 seconds to 2 minutes every 10 minutes, while utilizing the CPU at 100%.

</p><p>I suffered from this periodic hang and when I ran this on my profile, my Firefox hung for a couple minutes, so please let it complete - it takes some time.
</p><p>I know that there will be people who have commented on this question for which this will not solve their problems. We've found one serious hang here and are working on reproducing others as well.

It's not Java. I haven't installed Java since my last reinstallation of Windows. The freeze happens on certain websites only, and happens almost every time when I tries to open those sites. I have tried to disable all add-ons/plug-ins, and enable them one by one, but the problems still exists for most of the websites.
</p><p>Take the websites I visited today as examples:
</p><p><a href="http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/" rel="nofollow">wilkinsonplus.com</a>
Disabling AdBlock Plus will solve the problem on the Wilkinson site.

Problem still exists after disabling all add-ons/plug-ins.
This is the airport parking booking site from BAA. Directed from the Heathrow Airport site, but works fine if removing the parameters in the url.

Freezes returned after a while. The fix needs to come from Mozilla, not from users clearing the history and disabling and re-enabling their plugins twice a day.

No such luck. 6.0.2 still freezes regularly. Mozilla dropped the ball and released 6 way too soon without proper testing. It is not usable. Mozilla please fix this mess. After all the years of using Firefox (since the first release) I find myself forced to move to Chrome just to be able to access the web without the constant annoyance of freezes. Lets hope it's temporary only.

and I am constantly getting the "not responding" hang-up.

so far nothing works at all.

Is there any way that Firefox (?) will correct this glitch

will actually work sometime in the future.
