Firefox hangs when trying to download/save as a file Also hangs when trying to open Tools/Options window

(On a second XP computer, everything is OK - I have been using FF since version 1.5)

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
