Firefox locks up and doesn't respond after entering about:permissions, I have to kill it with Task Manager. I've tried several times and Firefox locks up each time.

Thanks.:D

I'm using 7.0.1. Maybe it is because I have too many cookies or large history.
I only delete my cache when Firefox closes, I like to keep my other data.

I'll try it later after I clean up data on Firefox and see if that is the problem.

Thanks.:D

I found out what the problem was, before using "about:permissions" delete all of your browsing history and cleanup your cookies and bookmarks.

Firefox will search all data and pull up every site found in your data.
If you have a lot of data, Firefox will lock up and won't respond.

Thanks for the guide win7holic, I'm sure it can be useful to some members.

Good day.:D

I think my bookmarks was the main problem causing Firefox to lock up.
I have a huge list of bookmarks collected since 2000, some sites are not even online anymore. After cleaning them up, no more lock ups when using "about:permissions.

Thanks for the guide.:D
