I hope you can get an answer to this because I've been having the same problem since the latest update. Today, Firefox keeps freezing up on me. Have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to shut it down. Then it says it's searching for an answer to the problem...and that freezes up, too.

Really not happy with Firefox right now. (Almost always uses 100% CPU!)
