sometimes on my Ubuntu 14.10 machine Firefox 33 hangs. This means that although performing clicks or keyboard shortcuts the window content doesn't change. When I resize the window, everything is fine again, until the next "hang".

Do you have an idea how to solve this problem?

  • Is it a hang, or a long, slow delay to respond?

  • It's a hang. The title Bar is the only thing that changed (when hovering)

  • I get odd lazy responses, which I solve by clearing the cache files.

Many "Firefox" problems are caused by problematic themes, extensions, or plugins. To quickly check for these potential causes, follow the steps in the Standard diagnostic - Firefox article. The Mozi kb article link give below will give you the detailed information of various Firefox hangs and its fix.

Note: Me faced similar issues with scrips in google drive not responding or due to Adobe flash player either hangs or crashes in Firefox.

  • I face precisely the same issue - nothing works until window resized. Which part of this answer actually solved the problem for the OP?
