Using Windows 7 and Firefox version 50.0 Keep getting "not responding" every few seconds... driving me crazy! I have used Firefox for 15 years or more and am thinking of switching to Chrome if I can't find a solution... but I hate Chrome. Tried to find a fix but there are about 20 listed. Can't it be narrowed down? Don't have time for that. Anybody find a simple fix for this problem???? Help!!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?
