Slow Firefox

[Willbo]

I've recently started to get a problem with firefox (version 2.0.0.14) where when I have a couple of tabs open, and one of the pages is loading, the other page(s) i'm looking at become unviewable. The page literally freezes and I cant do a thing.

I've never had this problem before now, really not sure what is causing it as I havent changed anything system wise thats been obvious

any help would be appreciated.

I think I might just of sorted the problem when told about the extensions.

I recently installed the new AVG which comes with a safe search add on which checks links on webpages for any kind of malicious links. I've disable this and Firefox is now working a lot smoother and quicker.

Not sure if any Eriedor has the same problem.
