Version 54.0.1 Firefox stops responding multiple times in a day. I have to kill the process using task manager. When I restart, I get the Well, this is embarrassing page". For example, I opened up Firefox to pay my Comcast bill and within a few clicks, Firefox stopped responding. Firefox constantly freezes and stops responding on Twitter. This has gotten much worse with the last two updates to Firefox. I really don't want to use Chrome (because of the tracking) but if this keeps up with Firefox, I'm just going to have to uninstall it.

I have a fully patched Windows 10 Pro computer. I have also tried uninstalling Firefox and re-installing it, but this doesn't solve this issue.

About how long before Firefox freezes?

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?
