Problem with freezing and hour glass comes on as if updating every 10 minutes or so and lasts for 52 seconds or more.
When I am on a site, any site, or writing an email every ten minutes or so, the hour glass comes on and I cannot do anything but wait. I think it is updating something. How can I stop this?

Updating to Firefox 8.0 might do it, unless there is damage to the places.sqlite indexes, anyway this is the fix, and I actually option (same as all options).

Install add-on, run at least the option mentioned in the article, I ran them all. When finished you can uninstall the extension, all without taking taking Firefox down, The extension is one of the new JetPack extensions.
Thought I was having that problem right now, but it's my anti-virus scan, usually ties things up pretty much.

Great. I installed Mozilla Firefox8 as suggested and went on different sites for about an hour after that with no freezing. Thank you.
