FireFox continually hangs when I click on Get Add Ons in the Tools menu. This doesn't happen when I boot in Safe Mode. I have disabled most of my extensions as well as disabling RoboForm both as an extenstion and in the RoboForm application's association with FireFox.

Found answer to this problem. Auto Pager Lite 0.6.2.6 is causing FireFox

4 to become unresponsive. I reinstalled the browser without extensions

and installed again to discover that Auto Pager Lite is the culprit.

I started firefox in safe-mode and clicked on "get add-ons". Everything worked fine. I closed firefox and started it again in normal mode. When I then clicked on "get add-ons", everything also worked fine! So for me the solution was to just start firefox once in safe-mode! I don't have any reasonable explanation for this, but it really did the trick!
