Since I updated to the newer versions of firefox (currently I run version 2.0.0.1) I have had this god awful problem with the software, (RUNNING ON A WINDOW XP BOX) running on a user account whenever I download something from firefox it will freeze for at least 5-10 minutes, I have seriously walked away to take a shower, make coffee and come back and it still be frozen, eventually it will come out of the freeze and start downloading the file at 0% and continue to 100% fine but the freeze effects my entire system I cant open windows or run programs.
The weird thing I have a laptop running windows xp that USED to do the same thing execpt when I took it to my friends house, went under admin mode to change my network settings to allow DHCP (I'm under a static IP addressing since I use port forwarding), heres the thing I took the thing off DHCP and went back the the same settings, not doing ANY updates or ANYTHING else, and firefox no longer freezes when on my laptop.
