I am running mac 10.6.6 on a mac book pro (silver backlit keyboard) 2.16 ghz intel duo, 2 gb 667 mhz DDR2 sdram. I usually have between 10 and 20 tabs open while I am working and never encountered a problem until Firefox 4. Everything workls fine untilthe system sleeps, and then, on wake, the system becomes sluggish and firefox freezes. If I force quit firefox and restart the program, all my tabe re open and I can work until the next time the systems sleeps and I have to repeat the process. Please advise.

Firefox 4 has been tested a while on Mac OS X 10.6, so it is not a general issue. It is likely caused by one or several of your extensions.

See Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix and Basic troubleshooting to narrow down the cause.
