So, I've been running Firefox 4 the latest updates on my Windows 7 computer just fine.
Now, suddenly, this really odd issue came up.

The webpages stop loading unless I'm moving the mouse. The second I stop moving the mouse they get stuck and the little loading circle at the top stops spinning. The second I start moving the mouse around it works fine.

What the heck is the problem?

PS: the animated smilies stop moving unless I'm tpying (like right now) or if I move the mouse.

WTF?
Any ideas?

That's really weird. Do you still have that problem? Do you have the same problem with Firefox 5? Have you tried their help center/contacting them?

It's happened once or twice but restarting the browser fixed it.
But it's a super weird issue!

firefox 3.5 is good for me when i was version 4 i get all recent pages visited and too much cache in it so i reinstalled and using firefox version 3.5.newer versions are coming as i readed on net 5 6,7

You can already download Firefox 7.

Firefox 3.6 is the oldest version you should use.
Firefox 4 sucked.
Firefox 5 is much better,
I'm seeing a XP, Vista, 7 pattern here!

I am also facing the same issue on my device. It is showing some issue after updating the device. It is showing Windows 10 Taskbar Frozen error. I am looking for the proper solution. Do you have any idea about it? Please share with me.

I am also facing some issues in firefox I don't know if it is wierd or not but it automatically closely when I start downloading. By the way if anyone needs Web Development service in Australia, visit .
