Firefox-bin firefox freeze

Asked by Tarmo Velmet

My Firefox freezes quite often. Sometimes at scrolling or in any random moment, just for a while.
If I have closed Firefox and will open it again, there comes error message "you need to close Firefox or restart your system". When I tray to restart, there comes message "Firefox-bin still working". How could I fix it.

Ubuntu 10.04, Firefox 3.6.13

Open a terminal and type:

killall firefox-bin

then retry to run firefox, please disable some or all installed plugin (if you have any) to check if they are the culprit of firefox freeze
