after closing Firefox, it stays in memory and I have to reboot before I can start it again
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!

Try to close Firefox via "File > Exit" if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
See "Hang at exit":
Thanks for the tip, but I have already fixed the problem by renewing my profiles-folder.
