When I want to open Google (by search bar or by url: www.google.nl) FireFox freezes. Anyone knows a workaround? (besides using another search provider)
Whenever a google.nl search or results page is opened Firefox freezes. I can still close the window by the close button resize or move the window but the content is totally frozen. Cannot open new tabs, menu options are not accessible, neither by mouse nor keyboard. No problems with maps.google.nl exept when I try to use 3D google earth. I don't have the plugin but see a screen stating I have to download a plugin and than the session freezes again. (Another FF4 session is not affected). It looks like a flash problem? Any suggestions what to do (in a way that I can provide feedback as well?). I didn't reinstall flash yet since it al works fine in ye old FF3.6.
OS: Windows XP SP3

I had the problem above - and even with a new profile it still froze. I then realized that I had McAfee A/V- and it had siteadvisor plugin installed. I disabled the plugin and now Google search works/no longer locks up.

Are you running both Firefox 3.6 and the 4.0beta with the same Profile?
Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Good point by Ericv! If you are overriding extension compatibility in a Firefox 4.0 beta, the extensions showing as "not compatible with Firefox 4.0beta#" are the first extensions to disable to see if one of them is causing the problem.
Ok, thank you for your suggestions. I am using one profile but running Site Advisor as well so it might be the solution. Strangely enough I don't have this issue on another system but that runs on XP Mediacenter, so there is a difference.
I will compare other plugins as well and come back on it next week.
You were right. I disabled Site Advisor and the problem is solved. Guess I have to watch where I'm surfing for myself again ;-)
I solved my McAfee Site Advisor Issue.
I Have FF 4.42.00 on Vista

I had this problem with Firefox version 11 (and no McAfee) on an DELL Vostro with Intel Core i5 with Windows 7 (64bit).
When starting in safe mode and disabling all add-ons, it seemed to work. But when starting in normal mode with disabled add-ons, the problem came back.
I then re-enabled all compatible extensions and plugins (Internet Video Downloader 2.0.0.8 is not compatible with Firefox version 11). I uninstalled all older versions of Java and reïnstalled the latest versions of Java (32&64 bit) and Flash. This cerainly solved some problems, but not all.
After unchecking "Use hardware accelleration when available" everything seems to work fine now.
