why it happens eve i do not know .But i can tel you a possible solution . Unistall Mozilla ( u can keep ur history data and all ) . then install tune up utilities .Run it .Then download a new Mozilla firefox and install .

These updates are creating some kind of problem .They even use up a lot of RAM

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.

Hello FredMcD

Thanks for your reply but I have tried disabling all my toolbars and as far as I know I haven't any anti-virus add ons, but it hasn't had any effect I still have my page freezing for about 30 seconds which is increasingly getting more annoying by the day. Any other suggestions please ?

See if these can help you;

Hello

I have tried all the suggestions put forward and so far nothing has helped. I'm now at my wits end and developed high blood pressure because of it. I really don't know what to do next PLEASE PLEASE can someone come up with a solution that works or I'll have to abandon Mozilla Firefox for good.

I have called for the big guys. They should respond before too long. Good luck.

Hi Jumbochick, Sorry for the delay in the response. So far I understand that Firefox is freezing when you go to a new webpage.

It looks like your graphics driver needs an update:
