This bug has been locking up my computer since FF4. When I drag an attachment from Outlook Express email to the XP desktop with Firefox 5 (or 4) open, my computer freezes. It happens on multiple computers and does not happen with FF3, IE8, or Chrome. Plus it even just locked up after reboot when FF attempted to restore the previous session.
