try in Firefox-safemode to see if it's extension causing the problem

Maybe this is a duplicate of bug #280151

I am having the same problem to no avail.  Was working fine this morning.  And now wont load.  Even after uninstalling and reinstalling twice.  Just wont load.  I am on the web with IE as that is the only browser that will work at the moment.

I have a desktop and a laptop.  FF2 works fine on the desktop, but not on the laptop which is a new duo Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset Family Toshiba P105 with 1GB RAM and 160GB hard disk.  FF2 starts, but during the process of opening the starting page, it freezes and becomes non-responsive 100% of the time regardless of whether it's started in safe mode or not.  I've tried every suggestion on this site (which I have diligently trawled) to absolutely no avail.  I've even changed the IP.  I've tried the EN-US, EN-GB and Google toolbar variants.  Same dismal result every time!  As premature baldness is beginning to occur, I'd like to know what I can do to get FF2 working on the laptop please?

I have seen this bug also on my friends Toshiba laptop when he turns on the laptop (Windows 7) and opens Firefox --> gmail.com Firefox freezes. If he opens any other page Firefox is running without freezing.
