Can you provide any talkback ids? Where you installed Firefox, check the components directory and run talkback.exe Tell us any ids you see there from the time of the crashes. Or is this actually hanging, and not crashing?
I'm not sure if it hangs or crashes further experiments suggest that it hangs for approx 70 seconds and then pull down menu disappears from the screen, but full functionality is restored and I can access IE favourites perfectly when it is hanging the pull down Menu remains in foreground in front of all other apps, hourglass mouse pointer in front of firefox app window, normal pointer in front of menu list. Talkback reports nothing
I have just deleted a network share from my favourites list ( in the internet explorer favourites) and the problem is fixed - perhaps something to do with length of time it takes to verify a connection to a network shared folder?
changing summary per comment 3 and lowering severity - it doesn't crash or hang. Could you explain in more detail what kind of bookmark is causing the slowdown?
Severity: critical → major
Summary: Program crashes every time I try to access imported IE favourites on bookmarks menu → accessing imported IE favourites (network shared folder) in bookmarks menu is slow
Since Deleting the bookmark I have been unable to recreate the problem, but the "offending" bookmark was to a shared folder on another PC. I don't know if the host pc of the offending shared folder was switched on / hung / crashed when I was trying to access my imported favourties folder. I have recreated to bookmark both within firefox and by re-importing from Internet explorer.
