Firefox freezes quite often when I attempt to drag an icon from my bookmark toolbar into a new tab. When this happens, firefox locks right up. My wireless mouse still works but the icon box is stuck to the end of my mouse pointer. I can only exit firefox through the task manager, and upon attempting to re start firefox, I am prompted with a dialogue box saying that firefox is already running. No other applications are affected.Firefox unlocks in about 1 to 2 minutes, with everything returning to normal. This problem occurs on several computers in both windows 7 and 8. Fix?

How about a suggestion?

Middle-click a bookmark to gave it open in a new Tab.

Other than that, do a little bit of diagnosis.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

When in Safe Mode...

  • The status of plug-ins is not affected.
  • Custom preferences are not affected.
  • All extensions are disabled.
  • The default theme is used, without a persona.
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
  • The default toolbar layout is used.
  • The JIT Javascript compiler is disabled.
  • Hardware acceleration is disabled.

If not, see this:
