Firefox & Seamonkey hang while trying to access new tabs
OS Win 8.1 Pro. Lenovo Thinkpad, 8 gb memory. In the last 18 hrs Firefox started hanging as I loaded a 2nd or 3rd tab. I deleted Firefox & reinstalled the new version in a different logical drive. Same problem. Downloaded Seamonkey and after a few minutes use, same problem. Went into add ons, disabled everything, same issue remained. Internet explorer works like a charm.
