Could you see if the issue occurs if using Firefox in safe mode:

How about with a new, empty testing profile? (Don't install any addons into it)

After trying those, if you still want to go back to 3.6.x you can use:

(However, if would be helpful to know what caused the problem before you do so, if possible)

Actually, I've just noticed you are using the Firefox 4 beta.

Please update to the latest (final) 4.0 version, since it may help:
