every time i open firefox and try to download a new plug-in it freezes and i get a message saying that the script is taking too long to respond and the whole window freezes i have to end procces and restart. Also, the google toolbar plugin does not work, i can not enter a search query. i am running this on a 64 bit system is this the cause of the problem?

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
