I have just installed Firefox 6.02 on a new Dell Vostro 3550. Install went fine, but Firefox is completely unusable.

when typing in either bar, as soon as auto-complete starts to suggest, Firefox locks up.

I did not import any bookmarks. I have not set up sync. I did not install any add-ons.

Update:

I can only get Firefox to work with Add-ons disabled. I have no add-ons installed so I am not sure why this makes a difference...

Update 2: I figured out a workaround, but not necessarily the cause. The work around is to disable hardware acceleration (Options->Advanced).

The cause appears to be related to the switchable graphics on this Dell notebook, Intel Core i5 with AMD HD 6630M.
