Firefox freezes all the time, but is does not in safe mode. Whats the difference rather than plugins and complements?
My browser freezes everytime and i have to minimize and restore the browser for it to work. I disabled all complements and plugins in "regular" mode, deleted my profile and created a new one, reset firefox and the problem remains, bu when i run firefox in safe mode, everything works just fine. Is there any other thing rather than disabling complements and plugins that safe mode does so i do it in standard mode?
Other thing is that my computer is under domain, and other local users on my computer do not have any problem with browsers.
Thanks for any help!!

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
- From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select Add-ons, or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the Tools menu and click Add-ons.
- Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the Extensions button on the left side of the window.
- You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
- To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the Remove button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
- Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the Restart now link in the message.

Hellon Nellus91! and thanks for the answer, but as i said i actually disabled manually all the extensions and plugins are set on never activate and the problem is still there. As i said everything runs fine in safe mode ( except flash videos as flash is desactivated ), all my plugins are also up to date! . Is there any other thing that safe mode disables that might cause the problem in "regular" mode?
Thanks again!
