This is a strange one, but Im hoping to find the solution here. I have Firefox 6.0 - this also happened with the previous version - and am running Windows 7 Home Premium.

Anyways, I have this issue where the browser will freeze (or hang, not sure which term is correct), without turning white, and things wont resume movement unless I move the mouse, or type - but the browser must be the active window - it cannot do it if I move the mouse/type in another program. This mainly happens when Im attempting to upload something, but has happened on other occasions. It's really quite annoying. Things will [temporarily] go back to normal, once I close Firefox, and then re-open it. But, the problem keeps coming back. Graphics, such as GIFs or animated advertisements freeze; page(s) loading; downloads; uploads; etc. all until I make a move.

Is there any solution to this strange issue?! Please and thanks!
