After installing release 4.0 the igoogle desktop I use as my home pages stops
responding.  This has the 'not responding' message in the top left hand corner.  It always happens when using igoogle or manipulating any if its features.  I have removed and re-installed 4.0 many times and it always happens.  I have now removed it and returned to 3.6.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install 4.0
2.Set up an igoogle desktop with themes and widgets
3.Firefox stops responding every time - 3.6 is fine



exactly the same igoogle desktop works fine with 3.6

Reporter, did running in Safe Mode as suggested in comment 1 make any difference?

Running in safe mode did not solve the problem.

Reporter has not replied. Does igoogle desktop even exist anymore?  iirc it does not.
