[firefox] Big freeze when opening a new window
Hi there.
Since a few weeks, each time that I open a new window in Firefox I get a big freeze that lasts around 1:30 minutes and then everything is fine again.
During this freeze, windows become gray (it stops displaying the pixels).
This was happening on my previous arch system and on this brand new one that I reinstalled recently.
Does anyone have the same issue?
Thanks.

Re: [firefox] Big freeze when opening a new window
when I have browser problems of any kind I tend to do the following:
close browser causing issue
goto home dir & find the folder containing my profile (ie firefox: ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile folder> ) then rename it with .ORIG on the end of it's current one
restart browser, it should create a new profile folder & act like a fresh install
If the above resolves the issue then the chances are that one of your extensions in the previous profile was causing the problem & not the browser itself.
