FF Vers 53.0 running on Win 7 Pro... internet speed 6607Kbps
Frequently it freezes when trying to click to another item on same page, or scroll up a page, then gives the message "Firefox is not responding".. ( as if I didn`t know !)... not a very useful message.. would be helpful it it continued.... Because.............
and explained why, and a solution..
anyone else having this problem?

I like FF but it does leak memory if you have lots of tabs open over multiple windows.
I use Chrome for any sites where I need to watch Flash content as Flash and FF do not seem to work well together these days.

Flash works on some sites, but not on others on FF - e.g. it fails on TV streaming.

Even when not actually using Flash FF had problems with it installed with frequent crashes. There is another thread about that somewhere.

shutter, the status display at the bottom left of the Firefox screen might show what component of the web page was being downloaded at the point Firefox locked up. For a more comprehensive picture, you could install Fiddler and see what's coming down the pipe in real time up to when Firefox fails to respond.
