Thank you for posting! I have the same issue. Happened twice in the past two days and yes I have only been using Firefox 4 after the latest update just the past two days (version 3.6 had no problems). I have now removed Mozilla Firefox completely and hopefully the problem is indeed with the latest version of Firefox (version 4) . I am now using Chrome again. I will post again IF my Lenovo freezes.
