Upgraded to Firefox 4.  At a website, after clicking the second button, everything freezes.  Same result using FF 3.  I thought it was a virus, so I ran a Norton virus scan, it indicated it was running but it never completed the scan.  I am using XP.  By the way, If someone tries to get 'Support' and forgets their user name, there is no way of recovering it (I tried for too long).  I removed Firefox 3 & 4, problem cured.  Re-installed FF 3, everything good to go.
