Firefox hangs whenever a file save/open dialogue is to be opened
I have Firefox 3.6.12 (but this problem started since 3.4 I think). It normally works fine and I have no problem with any website or add-on in particular. However, anytime I have to download a file or open a file (e.g. when using SQLite Manager add-on) then the file dialogue never appears and at this point Firefox becomes unresponsive with the hour-glass symbol being displayed. I have submitted crash reports (after forcing Firefox to close) and have also looked at ProcessExplorer stack trace - a sample of which is below:

If this is the same as what has been seen in Thunderbird, then it's resolved by an MS-windows update according to http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/crash_when_opening_message_containing_attachment ... but I don't know which MS update.
killing 'xul.dll!NS_LogTerm_P+0x...' via the MS Process Explorer reenables the file save/open dialog as well as the application menu in the extras/preferences dialog.
Problem is effective and reproducable since v3.1.4.
