I use windows XP and recently upgraded to FF 6.0 when I click the FF shortcut it attempts to load with the hourglass icon but then stops. 5-8 minuets after it loads. This is obviously frustrating. I love FF and need your help.

I love Firefox too. Dump version six, which is not ready, I don't care what they say, and search for version 5.1. Problem solved.

Did this clear up after you restarted your computer?

Ive been looking for 5.1 but cannot find it. Every site that says 5.1 defaults to 6.0 frustrating

Here 5.0 if that is what you want.

     ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/5.0/win32/en-US/

But I don't what 5 is going to do for you if your having trouble with 6.

Did you try reading threw Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems, you should try to see what your issue are rather than go backwards.
