I've recently had issues with Firefox hanging when visiting many webpages. With javascripts disabled it does not crash.

Things I have tried: Refreshing Firefox Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox Using safe mode (did not help, still hangs) Updating plugins (all were up-to-date)

Interestingly, the same thing happens with the same pages using Safari, but I'm not sure what this means.

I understand that Firefxo is hanging even though you have updated. There was another security release for Flash today as they are addressing some major security issues this week.

I would recommend changing your Flash plugin to a click to play status. Go into about:plugins and click "Always Ask to Activate" for your flash player.
