Firefox freezes

[Allard]

I have a problem lately, for some reason NoScript causes my Firefox to hang for 5 or 10 seconds when visiting random sites. I have disabled all my add-ons did even created a new Firefox profile and I found out that when NoScript is enabled the problem appears. When I disable of remove NoScript I don't have this problem. Also disabled all my other add-ons and enabled only NoScript, same issue, Firefox keeps freezing for 5 or 10 seconds.

Are the more people with this problem?

Greetings,

Not having the same problem, no, but can you try creating a new profile and seeing whether the same thing happens?

Yes, I created a new profile multiple times now and that doesn't work. Also just updated to Firefox 28 but the problem is still present. I think I'm going to disable or remove NoScript, because the hanging drives me nuts.

You seem to be using a distribution build of Firefox, which in my experience results in a lot of weird issues. That may not be the case for you, but you could try an official Mozilla build with a new profile, see if NoScript causes hangs there...
(unzip the firefox .tar.bz2 in your home directory, then run ~/firefox/firefox)

EDIT note also that a profile created by and/or used by the distribution Fx build is *not* considered clean to the official Moz build, so after unzipping the archive you would need to run ~/firefox/firefox -p in order to create a truly clean profile with which to try the official build
