No reply. Please reopen if you still see this with Firefox 3.5.1 or later in Firefox safe mode or a new profile.

I Run Windows Vista Home Edition, and have been trying to use firefox 3.5 to browse face book and the like. I have a "not responding" message every single time I use face book on fire fox, yet have no issues with any other browser. Fire Fox Will sit and "not Respond" for up to an hour, and not even the task manager can shut it down

Shawn, you are getting a hang, which is different then a crash. Please create a new bug and cc me to it. Before doing that, update your plugins (flash, quicktime, java, etc) and try http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
