I downloaded Firefox 2.0 yesterday, but noticed that I still see the same problems: random hangups, most of time in the middle (or after) processing a recently clicked ‘hyperlink’ 1.
I don’t recall having problems like this bad in Firefox 1.5 (actually, I never had any problems in FF 1.5), so I might consider downgrading real soon now, particularly since the forums at Mozillazine are hardly reachable these days (I also noticed that there is apparently a trunk freeze).
So, what does Firefox 2.0 gives you? Shiny buttons, tabs, a restore session manager (which ends up being really handy with the 10 or more crashes I had today) and the Talkback manager as a plug-in. Huzzah. It’s like the SeaMonkey days!
Update (10/26/06): Finally able to go to Mozillazine and followed up on the recommendation to start a completely new profile (start firefox from commandline like ‘firefox -profilemanager’). So far so good. Though, before you do so, don’t forget to export your bookmarks first.
I’ve never encountered those bugs. I probably use more reliable hardware.
Maybe should change your memory modules.

I’ve got brand new hardware… That said: Firefox has been working a lot better since I started a new profile (which got rid of all the bloat and extensions [Google Toolbar for example] that were part of the default installation).
I actually expect the Google toolbar to be the main culprit, presumably its own spelling checker, which may (or may not) clash with FF’s spell checker.
