Freezes or crashes? If it crashes it should "disappear"; if it freezes/hangs it should just lock up. If it is crashing, could you install with talkback and get a talkback ID for the crash? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback

It freezes and locks up. It doesn't just happen with Google,it also happens
on other sites where you have to enter Screen Name or Password.
A fix should be made available as there are numerous similar complaints
in the Forums.
