[Bug 668867] Re: Firefox hangs and has becoming very slow. It also crashes Firefox has become virtually unuasble

[axx]

Safe mode didn't help solve the issue, BUT using a new profile (firefox
-P) did.

Following http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox I went
through the procedure to fix my profile: “Profile issues / To fix the
problem in the original profile”

I tried the suggestions in order, and removed several items from my profile directory, until the suggestion on the 4th line worked: removing the prefs.js made my Firefox stable again.
This wiped my preferences but so far, my Firefox version hasn't crashed in hours.

I must have changed a setting that caused this version of Firefox to
crash. If I have the courage, I'll try to find out what one.

So anyway, I hope this can help some of you.


If needed, I can share the incriminating prefs.js file (after some sanitizing).
