Freezing
For the past week now, Firefox has been freezing up on me for a long period of time each day. It doesn't matter what I am doing, I could be browsing on the web, checking my email and such.The only way I seem to rectify this, is do a hard restart. Yes I do update my system,clear cache and cookies. I have read most of the replies on the possible fixes, but my question is it really necessary to start Firefox in safe mood to solve this issue?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

MemTest LAST UPDATED : 27/09/2013 Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/ in order to check the integrity of your RAM?
You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.
Feed thank you so much for the information. It's going to take me a few days or so to go through all of this, but as soon as can I will update you.
Good evening Fred,
I still haven't had the chance to try these recommends. However, I have noticed that when I deleted an extension from Firefox that I had, I haven't had any issues. Apparently the cause of my issue was the extension by the name of "dark reader."
That was very good work. Well Done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem as this can help others with similar problems.
Please contact "dark reader" support and let them know.
