I've stopped using Firefox 32-bit in Windows 7, 64-bit as Firefox stops responding and then locks up Windows 7 so that I have to do a hard reboot.

Thanks,

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?
