19 I had those extensions, until today: babelfish, boost for facebook,
20 foxlingo, suggestmeyes.
21 They are not on my firefox web browser any more.
22 Then I tried once again, and the problem continued there, exactly the
23 same. Well, I didn't want to touch the next, but..
24 Now I just have two more extensions left, the most used for me: pdf
25 download, and clickweather. I just disabled them.
26 Tried again several tabs and now... it's OK. Everything seems to be
27 running pretty stably.

34 Thank you very much, the problem seems to be located. Now I ask to
35 myself whether there is anything I could do in order to have enabled
36 those two extensions, working and without leave stability on firefox, or
37 maybe this is, at the moment, not possible.
