laptop, P4-1.6Ghz, 1Gb RAM, windows XP/SP3+IIS, FF5.0.

after surfing a while, FF hangs on searching the requested site without returning on time-out. When I exit FF it stays in memory (task-manager.processes) and I have to reboot my computer!

See "Hang at exit":

Thanks for the tip, but I have already fixed the problem by renewing my profiles-folder.
