This is most likely a dupe of bug 636884

I have been having this same issue today, on B12 and the nightly B13pre, even with add-ons disabled.

Works for Me on:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b12) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b12

*Note: Maybe it's CPU related. In my case the CPU usage increases (to 60%) when entering AddOns but does not hang.

Using the most recent nightly, I still have the same problem. CPU is dual-core 3.2GHz, and I have 8GB RAM. Only one CPU core gets 80-90% usage, the rest of the system doesn't get stuck, only Minefield does.

Interestingly, it seems it freezes while loading data from the AMO site (url shows up in bottom-left corner). It seems like the other add-on pages are working, because for the first couple of seconds I can navigate to them and see their content, but they then freeze. If I leave the Get Add-Ons tab selected, it freezes, usually before displaying any content. It feels like the AMO web content is freezing on the Get Add-Ons tab and taking down the rest of the browser with it, as opposed to one of the other add-on tabs being the source of the problem, but I can't be certain.
