    Angry Annoying Firefox

    My Firefox has some strange issues :
    - If you start Firefox, browisng is fine. A few minutes later, the page keeps tryingt to load but never loads up. Have to close Firefox and then re-open.
    - Youtube videos take ages to load. In a speed race for youtube videos, IE started and finished playing the video and Firefox was yet to start playing!
    -Very often, when I open a new tab, Firefox crashes and keeps crashing upon trying to restart and eventually gives me a window to untick NEW TAB and then Firefox manages to open properly!

    I have gone as far as uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and also created a new user profile for myself but this still exists!

    Ffox version - 19.0
    Win 7 Pro 32b
    Addons :
    Adblock
    FB purity
    Greasemonkey
    Timelineremove
    Photojacker

    Is there any reason you're running an old version? Update to the latest and disable your add-ons for now.

    Also turn off hardware acceleration, this helps stability a lot:

    I had similar issue before, do you have anti-virus plugin for web shield? Temporary disable the plugin and see if the speed returns.

    One thing I notice is that plugin-container.exe usually contains flash player or plugins grow very large then firefox slows, I terminate that then firefox start new plugin-container.
