When I go to open a web page, Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4 freezes, and when Windows
tries to close it, it usually doesn't work, and if it does it takes forever to
close.

Reproducible: Sometimes

1.Open Mozilla Firefox
2.Try going to a website, such as www.gmail.com
3.It does it sometimes, it may depend on your configuration.

Actual Results:  
Firefox 1.0.4 froze, and I could not exit, used Windows Task Manager to close,
would not close, closed after approx. 5 min. Sometimes have to restart.

Expected Results:  
Loaded the web page quickly and without causing my whole system to slow down.

wfm with FF1.0.4 on win2k3 and many people would report such a major problem in
FF1.0.4 -> wfm 

You may want to ask in the mozillazine.org Forums for support questions and you
may try the Firefox safemode first :
