i think its cause of security and change of it's engine. Firefox 4 is no longer supported, i recommend you to use Firefox 3.6.22 It's a long release version. we should wait till Firefox 7 officially release. For more info see here

see Gecko version and support status of versions. after version 3 Gecko version changes to 2.0
