Each tab shows that it is still transferring data/loading but they have been open for quite some time. Regardless of individual page. Tried turning on/off script block. No change. Makes it difficult to navigate between tabs.

I had this same problem and disabling it fixed it for me, but I also re-enabled it because I use this plug-in a lot and would have a hard time working without it. The good news is that the problem didn't come back. Thanks, cor-el.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons (TabRenamizer) is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Disabled "TabRenamizer". Seems to have done the trick. Thanks!
