Stuttering Firefox 4; Solved!

Haha! I solved my stuttering, stalling and staggering FireFox 4. An annoying problem that let FF halt for a second while scrolling, typing and selecting. 
The solution: just rename or delete the sessionstore.js file (don't worry, FF will create a new one for you) and restart FireFox. Firefox works as a sunshine right now.

For OSX users, it is located here: /Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/{randomkey}.default/sessionstore.js

Where do you find this file? I'm running Windows7 64. Thanks.

@Anonymous:
You can find the profile folder under "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\". In your case is may be: C:\Users\{your username}\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{randomkey}.default\sessionstore.js
