since firefox got updated 2-3 days back, this has been happening since then. while i'm using firefox, the site while suddenly stop responding. not only 1 tab but all the tabs won't respond! in short firefox freezes, it won't exit nor minimize unless i click on 'show desktop' on the right bottom corner. it takes like a minute or 2 for firefox to work again but then after a while it'll freeze again. i gave a picture but i don't think it'll help much. as u can see in the picture, the screen hasn't gone white or something and looks normal. however, while i was still typing it stopped and so i took the screenshot. it has happened, i don't how many times, while typing and of course a lot more before. it is really troublesome, so i could really love to be helped out here!!

thank you in advance.
