FoxFire v.4.0.1 ??
Anyone using V.4.0.1?
I have been using it for a little over a week. Yesterday afternoon I started getting hung-up every time I created a reply to a post on at PS.com.
I would stop Foxfire, it will abort all open tabs and windows, send the error msg and dump to Bill Gates, then I can do a manual restart and recover to the point it hung, no lost data.
I am running XP Pro, with the latest updates.

Sir--
I am having issues with Firefox version 4.0.1. The specific issues at PS.COM are intermittent.
Of late, I've been using Google Chrome and Firefox simultaneously.
My next machine will be an Apple. This time I really really really mean it.

I run on it on Win 7 64bit and it has locked up from the git go, but not as you describe. In my case Firefox only locks up if I leave it open for awhile and then return to use it.

I've had problems too. Scripts no longer work, add-ons are no longer compatible and there are no updates.
Luckily I have two computers and didn't upgrade the other one.

I have only had problems when I am searching and wind up with mulitple windows open, I use vista as my OS. It shuts down and restarts in the same place it shut down with zero lose if data.
I use Exploer on my laptop in windows 7, no issues.

I haven't loaded Firefox v.4.0.1 yet. When I initially started to download it, I kept getting messages that I would have to reload certain scripts and that Firefox may not work with certain programs / processes. I canceled the download, and keep hitting the "ask later" button when prompted to download again.
I'm just going to wait for the next version to come out. My old version works just fine as of right now, and I'm perfectly content with that.
(Of course, it took me years to finally put DOS out to pasture. )

I run Vista Ultimate SP2, 64-bit on my PC. I've been having the same shutdown issues when I upgraded to 4.0.0, and sometimes with 4.0.1 I still face these issues. I originally hesitated upgrading due to add-on incompatibility. On my laptop I reverted from Vista Business 32-bit to XP Pro, staying with Firefox 3.x.x with no problems.
Mozilla (maker of Firefox) did some major overhauling to the browser, and apparently even major companies such as Google, Adobe and Norton (among others) had issues getting their add-ons ready before the release.
FYI, it looks as though Firefox 5 will be released by the end of the month.  Good luck.

I can't stand it. I may go back to IE. 
It's closed my browser 2 times in 20 minutes just today.

I always wait a good while before updating Firefox when a new version comes out. I always tell it, "Later."
Then when I figure the dust has settled, I update it on my least essential computer first and use it as a guinea pig.
I got burned twice before wising up.

Organizing Bookmarks
Since upgrading to 4.0.1, the shutdown issues have pretty much ceased. However, Adobe Flash plugin crashes sometimes, which it didn't do before.
I did notice the "Organize Bookmarks" tab no longer exists under "Bookmarks" on the toolbar. The actual function still exists, but even when you query "Help" on it, it tells you to click on the (non-existent) "Organize Bookmarks" under "Bookmarks."
For anyone who needs to access/organize/export their bookmarks, ctrl+shift+b should bring up the window.

This is spooky,,
1)I didn't get the hang until after I installed 4.0.1
2)Show all BookMarks is still on my bookmarks drop down... next to it: Ctrl-Shift+B

Firefox 5 feedback
Has anyone tried it?
Version 4.0.1 is the devil I know and I'm wondering if it is worth going down the primrose path to meet his kid brother.

Running 5.0 now and love it. Been using Firefox for many years and I'd never go back to IE.

I've been using 5.0 as well since it came out, and I don't have any complaints. No crashes and the majority of my add-ons still work.
