Do you have any extension installed? If so, please try Safe Mode. <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode>

If your whole computer is hanging that is something else. Firefox can not cause entire system hangs. And addon, like google Toolbar could possible do this, but probably something like antivirus or a firewall.

OK guys! You were right! Mcafee ADD ON was causing the issue. When i deactivated it, it started workign well. So lesson learned, Mcafee Site Advisor Plugin is not compatible with this new Firefox version. Tks,
