Ive been a Firefox user for many years now and get the automatic updates no problem. But I got an update today, 14 Nov 2011 Australia, and now Firefox hangs/freezes after loading the homepage. I have changed NOTHING else on my system at all. Other browers work fine. I went through your help pages but couldnt find anything that my help - I have a 5yr old Dell Laptop with Windows 7 running. Ive never had any problems until now.
