Build Identifier: Firefox 4

I can be stationary on a given (any) website and suddenly the system is frozen and I get a line at the very top of screen saying its not responding, as if I didn't know. I have used Firefox for several years, and not until I upgraded to Firefox 4 did this start. It really sucks, and so much so that I've had to go back to Internet Explorer. I've run every system check and registry repair I have and its not my computer, its your new (so-called) upgrade that really sucks!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Happens at random on any site at any time.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
I don't have to do anything except be on line.

Expected Results:  
Computer freezes and displays a line at top of screen saying Firefox is not responding

It should have continued to obey commands like it does on Internet Explorer

Can I expect improvement with your so-called upgrade to Firefox 4, or am I stuck with IE from now on?

1) See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html

2) Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

3) How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile

Let me know when you have a good working version of FF4. I'm not coming back until you do because this one sucks big time! Who came up with this lame version anyway? You should fire him and have him flogged!

Laptop continues to freeze. Had computer checked with Apple and computer is clean. 
The problem is stemming from Your end "Upgrades". Please make adjustment on your end ASAP ~~~~
