I have no problems with the latest updates, have you tried running it in safemode to see if it's a problem with some plugin or extension?

Code: Select all

$ firefox -safe-mode

It might be related to flash. Try disabling the flash plugin and see if that fixes it. If it does, install flashblock so you can make it only run flash on one tab at a time.
