I just update FireFox today and now it stalls out on me after a few clicks... I haven't found any help for it anywhere yet and I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues... I may not even be able to post this message - hopefully it will work long enough to do so... I can use IE and I installed Chrome which is working, but I don't have as much security installed on either one and Chrome is an unfamiliar interface that seems to be limited on security options... If anyone knows a fix for these issues, please let me know... I don't want to have to remove and install an older version if I can avoid it... I have already reinstalled this version, but it didn't fix the problem...
If you haven't already updated, you may want to hold off on that... I am on Win7 and I don't know if it is a problem only with that or with all OSes.

Updating FireFox.

I forgot to say - update to 25.0...
I checked add-ons to make sure they are all updated... If need be, I will turn each one off and see what happens, but I want to see if anyone else has encountered these issues first...
Thanks for responding...

You may regret that - as I did...

It works okay for me for the first few clicks, then stalls after a while... It will eventually move, but gets to the point where it won't hardly move at all... Are you opening more than one tab?

I did 2x Win7 and 1x XP machine to v25.0 yesterday without trouble, but you may want to ask about your problem here. They are usually pretty good about helping out:

"... works okay for me for the first few clicks, then stalls after a while.."
'Had a thought about that - you may want to check your firewall setting for the "plugin-container.exe" setting... it's updated with every Firefox release.

Seems to work fine for me for browsing. I do notice that the post editor works strangely - perhaps an incompatibility there. The WYSIWYG mode doesn't terminate new URLs properly. Only seen in Firefox, not in Chrome.

I just disabled a bunch of add-ons, so I will see what happens from that... I don't like to go without them, but if it works to disable them, I can add them back and see if I can determine which might be causing the problem... Of course, it may turn out that I bog down again anyway and that may not be the issue at all... I will let you all know - thanks for the ideas...
I tried the Firefox support forum yesterday and saw that many people were having similar problems with the previous update and some did not get an answer then... I will check it out again...

Well I opened a bunch of tabs and checked out the FF support forum without any difficulty, so it looks like Rocket Grannie nailed it with the suggestion that it was an add-on... I will now go through and enable each in turn to see what might have been the problem... I will post back when I get it sorted...

Okay, I seem to be back to normal... I ended up removing a few add-ons for cookie management that hadn't been updated in a long time and added a new one... So far I haven't had any more stalls... Thanks for all of the help!!

Turns out my conclusion was premature... I had enabled most of my remaining add-ons and started having problems again... I started doing the elimination again and I think I have it now, but still not sure... It seems like it might actually be an add-on that I never use which is supposed to help find MP3s... If that turns out to be the case, I will just remove it...

It may not have just been the MP3 add-on, but that was definitely part of it... Whatever else it might have been, it is working now that I removed a few obsolete programs and that MP3 add-on... If anyone else has a problem and you have an add-on for finding MP3s, I suggest you remove it or at least disable it...
