One of the most annoying glitches I've ever seen in an application: Firefox begins to hang/freeze for a few seconds, every 10 seconds or so until browsing a long web page becomes unbearable.
Turns out this is caused by some flaky internal Javascript code in Firefox, used in the routine that stores your session information so that Fox can restore the session in case it crashes.
Ironic if you ask me, especially as that's one of the most useless features in the browser. So I just disabled it:
Type in "about: config" in the address bar, locate the "browser.sessionrestore.resume_from_crash" line, and double-click it to change to false.

Disable Microsoft Error Reporting
I have Windows Home Server running on my HP MediaSmart server, and recently the awful Samsung Allshare app decided to crash more often than usual. This caused the c:\windows\temp directory to fill up with trash from the dw20.exe process, the Error Reporting Service.
As I am fully aware Samsung Allshare does not run well and I have absolutely no plans of troubleshooting it, and also that is the only app that crashes often, I decided to disable the Error Reporting Service.
Just use Task Manager to close any running instances of dw20.exe, then use the Computer Management console, Services list, to stop then disable the Error Reporting Service.
I also deleted all files under c:\windows\temp to regain 10 GB of disk space.
