When I sign out of Hotmail.com and the page redirects to MSN homepage... and Firefox hangs. I must go to Task Manager and close there and restart.

Have been running with no problem since new. Run virus, malware programs...nothing. No new downloads, or add ons.

This problem has just appeared in the last 2 days. Apart from this no other issues... all other pages open fine.... if I navigate away from the page before MSN homepage fully downloads firefox continues to work properly.

Hello Steve.

You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in safe mode and select Disable all add-ons. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See this article for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.

If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
