ODT locking up FireFox, anyone else?

[SchmittZoid]

OS, the last couple of days FireFox has essentially locked up whenever I open more than one tab, especially the Feed tab. Has anyone else reported this?

Am writing this in Chrome, and it seems to be stable.

BTW, it is happening across a few of my PC's, both in Win7 and XP.

That happened to me earlier today but it has cleared up after a virus protection update and restart.

Yes! Same problem. Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. I can't remember if it happens on my MacBook or not. But Firefox is absolutely useless with the OTD feed and any other windows open. It works fine with Explorer and Chrome.

I did the update and restart thing. Didn't work.

I hate Chrome - don't want Google looking through my shorts every time I look something up. Can't stand Explorer either. Almost like the NSA is trolling all my FireFox searches. Amazon, eBay, Wikipedia all work fine. Any of my NRA related activities, slow as dog sheets.

Freezes for me too with firefox. Laptop win7, desktop win 8.1, work pc win 7. All other sites work fine.

Had to switch to Google Chrome and now it works fine. Only problem is I hate Google Chrome!

Oh how I dream of a day where my broken **** list gets shorter and not longer.

Yep. Locked up last night and again this morning in Firefox. As far as I know I had multiple tabs open, but only one in the trader... aggravating!!

Me too!
Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Firefox 27.0
Adobe Flash Player plugin 12.0 r0
Suggestions:
1. uncheck 'Zoom text only' and
clicked 'reset' to remove any existing
zoom.
2. uncheck 'Always use private browsing'.

Seems to be working now. Must be a problem with cookies?
We'll tweak some more and update anything I find.

Seems to be working now. Currently have 4 tabs in Firefox as I type this.
Cookie settings at present :
Accept cookies from sites(no exceptions).
Third party cookies = accept only visited.
Keep until: I close Firefox.

That's not has private as 'private browsing' but it's close enough to be able enjoy ODT
with my favorite browser again.

Hope this helps.
