No hanging issues here using FF 3..6.9. If you're having problems it could be caused by an addon. Disable them and start enabling one by one to find the culprit.

I got rid of FF ages ago, and am perfectly happy with IE8.

Hello Drivhardd,

Hanging issues may be due to FF out-of-process plugins container. Go to about:config - type "dom.ipc" (minus quotes) and change the value of these 4 preferences from true to false, by double-clicking on each of them:

dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nptest.dll

Now, restart FF and see if that doesn't help to alleviate or reduce hanging issues.

In case you're wondering what each preference pertains to:

dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Microsoft Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (Apple QuickTime)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Adobe Flash)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nptest.dll (NPAPI test plugin)
