So for whatever reason while I'm using firefox for some randomly unknown reason it will freeze, HOWEVER if I am watching a video for instance and click the pause button while it is frozen the video will pause, I can change the sound and stuff but nothing changes visually. I can even switch to a different tab, click a video link maybe and can hear the video starting up and I can play pause it BUT the screen will still show me the old tab.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?


Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?
