Recently, I've been having some major issues with Mozilla Firefox.
It works fine for 10 minutes, then hits a brick wall and stops for five, ten, sometimes 15 minutes. The spinning circle sits there and spins. Then things resume, and I can browse again for 10-15 minutes, then we hit a wall again.
I'm using Windows XP and this problem cropped up a couple weekends ago. It sucks.
Anyone have suggestions as to what is going on?

Try this (no guarantees, though) Go to the <Tools><Options> menu option in FireFox. Select the <Advanced><Network> tab. In the [Cache] section, click the <Clear now> button. This may or may might help, but it will free up some disk space.

I had trouble with Firefox freezing too for 10-20 seconds at a time and then resuming. I switched to Opera Browser and things work great.
Nothing's as bad as IE7, though. I wish I could have IE6 again.

You could also try this site:
http://castlecops.com. You don't have to register to post, but it's better if you do so the helpers there can better help you and possibly PM you if there's a problem. I've used them and they've helped me with the problems I've encountered (not just with IE or Firefox), but computer problems as well. Just thought I'd mention this Kyle.

Firefox and Windows XP is a rather bad match. First of all Firefox requires a lot of memory and it gets worser the longer you browse the internet. In my case Firefox crashed almost every time I used it. It was only a matter of time. With Windows Server 2003 it ran perfectly fine. On Mac OS X Firefox freezes for a few seconds when ever you click on a link. But this happens only if you clicked on the "History" menu before.

I've been using ForeFox since about a month after it was released and have never had a problem with it. I'm using it on my Windows 2000 Pro desktop and my XP Media Center edition laptop. I've yet to have any problems with FireFox on either machine.
Incidentally, FireFox 3 has been in beta testing for a while, so maybe they're addressing this reported "freezing." http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=22782
