lol :cheesy: Shane a funny post from you Made me to laugh ! lol :wink: anyway i have only adblock and Tab Mix Plus add-one and my firefox browser still Freeze-up !

Did you remove all other add ins as a test? You can go to help and restart with all add ins disabled to see if it helps. If it does then it is one of the add ins that is causing it.

Tab Mix Plus has a history of conflicts with some Add-ons, Adblock Plus being one of them. Try testing with Tab Mix Plus disabled for a while :wink:

Hi,
I am also using adblock plus and at times facing script hanging errors. But if i allow advertisement in this site, then sometimes loading of advertisement does not allow you to do anything. Adblock plus blocks DOM and so may be this behaviour. But if the advertisements load quickly , you could not any problem with any browser. But , loading of advertisement, for each of the tab changing actions, in the top as well as bottoms cause this freezing.
I use adblock to block this advertisement annoyance, but then if you go normal , then this problem of advertisement load hanging, particularly of object type of advertisement.
I also read about the safety of this add on on the net, but still there is no cure for this firefox freezing. If you reset firefox, you bound to loose all passwords for sites among other custom settings.

for Adguard AdBlocker haven't installed on my web browser Because I suspected it :smiley: that’s why got removed by Google ! :artist: https://blog.adguard.com/en/news/google-removes-adguard-android-app-google-play.html
for hosts file I do not know even where do I download it and how to use it ! :blank:
GOOGLE Have removed Adguard because it blocks adverts, killing their golden goose.
The link that I gave explains the use of a Hosts file, and includes the download too,
Now you have a "vanilla" Firefox, go with Adblock Plus.

Google hasnt removed adblocker, which is the one I use. So perhaps adguard was doing something it wasnt suppose to?

Adblock Plus was removed a couple of years ago too, for the same vague reasons.
But Google don't do evil, do they :wink:

I have adblock plus in firefox and chrome, still on the chrome store as well :-)
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-plus/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb?hl=en-US
I just checked and adguard is still on there as well. Why did you think they removed them?

They were pulled from Google Play Store. I got a bit sidetracked by Gamez's post.....I think maybe he got the impression that it was in someway malicious and should be avoided.

Because I have not heard of before, and I thought it was malicious software, and because that such additions are actually malware programs! Or collect browsing information ! :smiley:

You are absolutely correct! :wink: I thought it was malware and still suspicious of additions! lol

Is there an alternative of Tab Mix Plus ?
-
Is there an alternative of Tab Mix Plus ?
Yes there are, these are not recommedations, I don't use them.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/topicalsearch/tmp-alternatives/
But, be aware that adding more extensions to Firefox will slow it down and cause possible conflicts. Personally, I think it is best to keep them to a minimum, "Less is more" :wink:,
Ask yourself, do I really need/ use this extension?

So, I think will I avoid those additions since I got an infection because of stuff like this!
I still do have a problem with firefox hang issue Although I have done a complete uninstall for Firefox with your uninstaller software but still having an hang problem ! :thinking:
