Whenever I try to delete all of the saved passwords, Firefox stops responding and I have to force close the application......help. It also hangs just deleting 1 saved password. Very annoying...

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?
