Frezes, unresponsive links, and firefox.exe keeps running after I close the browser. Chrome and IE work fine.

Operating System MS Windows XP Home 32-bit SP3 CPU Intel Pentium 4 530 Prescott 90nm Technology RAM 2.0GB Dual-Channel DDR @ 200MHz (2.5-3-3-8)

Firefox ver 3.6.10 Zone Alarm Security Suite 9.3 CCleaner 2.36 (and the rest of Piriform's great products) and who knows what junk Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sun, and the rest think I absolutely have to have just because I use their software.
