Why does FF4 lock up on Craigslist
After loading FF4 Craigslist freezes my computer. Specifically the "autos for sale" section. FF4 now supports the "thumbnail" photos provided by Craigslist and in doing so locks up my browser and the computer becomes unresponsive until I have to manually turn it off. Using the Task Manager is useless as it frozen as well....I expected a few bugs but this is a little much guys. Did you hire some microsoft folks ?
Thanks, tiny

I just tested it, but didn't experience any problems.
What I suggest you do in the first instance is to update you plugins, specifically:
- Java via Windows Control Panel | Java | Update Now
- Flash via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ See also: Adobe fixes Zero Day exploit
- Shockwave For Director via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
- Adobe Reader via the desktop icon, then Help | Check For Updates
If the problem persists after that, try running Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
