This morning, IE8 showed up as the default browser. Also, the Lastpass button was missing. When I click Tools-Add-ons and click the Options button for any add-on, the window hangs. Sometimes it hangs FF as well.

I resolved this by using a different add-on.

I was issued a new computer at work. It's a Windows 7 Dell E6410, and I was configuring a new installation of Firefox for it. I had downloaded the same URL shortening tool that I used on my old Windows XP IBM T60 computer. That add-on had the hang when you click on "Options" from the Tools > Add-ons menu. After uninstalling the add-on, I searched for a different URL shortening tool, and this one did NOT produce the hang.
