Firefox hanging - firefox-bin stops responding

[Mick Alvey]

I cannot determine for sure what is making the browser hang, but Firefox hangs regularly with firefox-bin becoming non=responsive. THe message is Firefox is a;ready running. At this point you have to kill the pprocess and restart. Any help here appreciated. As well as any directions for upgrading Firefox to the latest version past 3.6

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) reached end-of-life on April 10, 2012.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
