In Firefox you can just go to Tools and in the drop down you'll see "clear recent history", then you can select all the stuff you want to clear, and the time range. It should clear everything out. But if you're having the same problem on Chrome, it's obviously not that.
If you still want to see if disabling cookies helps, in Firefox go to Tools > Options > Privacy and untick "Accept Cookies From Sites".

I did some looking around, and a lot of other people are having/have had this problem. The annoying thing is for all the cries for help, no real solutions have been given. The only thing of interest that was mentioned was disabling javascript in the browser...

You need Javascript for a lot of web pages to work optimally, so I wouldn't recommend disabling it permanently or anything, but it could be worthwhile to try disabling it simply to narrow down the problem. If it turns out to be that, maybe updating to the latest version of Java could solve it.

To do this, in Firefox, go to Tools > Options > Content... then untick "enable Javascript" OK then restart your browser. I'm not sure if this will do anything, but since it was mentioned elsewhere with positive results, I figure you can at least try.
