On 2/11/12 I had been using Firefox in a couple of websites for a couple hours. I had been printing various pages. I tried to print another page and Firefox started hanging and became totally unresponsive. It opens, I get the start page and then nothing will happen after that. I have moved Firefox to trash and downloaded version 10.01 for Mac again but it is doing the same thing.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
