Don't know if any of you guys have seen this recently, but it's been happening on both my work laptop (P4) and home (PM). When I first open Firefox, the user interface will freeze on the program for 5-20 seconds, then work like normal.

Anyone else seen this?

I had that problem for a while. Then I cleaned a whole assload of Adware/Spyware off my machine. Problem solved.

Thanks BSmack, ran spyware and removed a crapload of stuff. Still havin' the problem :x

Your whole computer will freeze, or just Firefox?

Are you using any extensions?

Just firefox. Any time a new firefox window is opened (i.e. when I first open the program...when a popup window comes up if I'm online shopping...etc.) the program becomes unresponsive for that new window. Then after 15 seconds or so, it becomes operable.

I am only using a different theme, no proxy extensions or anything like that. Basic as hell.

It's now happening on each of my computers...just checked the home desktop and it's doing the same thing. The only thing I can reason is that a recent windows update has caused this bug to occur. It would be too strange of a coincidence for all three rigs to have this problem within a week of each other.

I tried looking in the developer forums and couldn't find a thing on it.

Found the answer.

SwitchProxy was messing me up, because I had "notify me of updates" selected.

Thanks for responding, fellas.

Hey there is nothing that says you can't answer your own question. :P
