Firefox hangs when clicking "Options" on any add-on in the add-on manager.
After the latest update the add-on manager window hangs whenever i click on the options for any add-on. The main firefox window works fine, but i am unable to to go into the options for my add-ons. Moreover, my search engines keep rearranging and disappearing. I dont know if that's relevant, but I thought I should add it too.

Firefox-4 does this as of around Apr 25th.
No add-on updates. First started hanging intermittently when clicking options.
Now hangs every time, permanently when add-on page accessed.
Only way to recover is Force Quit Firefox and restart.
All is well till add-on page clicked.
Flarg... Was hanging browser earlier today. Now it appears to be working.
Maybe the hang occurs when some service/link in the add-on directory @ Mozilla is offline or inaccessible.
I installed 4 different extensions ... when I click on addon manager and click any extension "options" the whole addon manger freezes up for me as well. I can't close or escape the window. I can open another browser window but the old window with the addon manager is frozen so I must use task manager to close.
After trying many options this worked for me ... I uninstalled Adobe Flash plugin and reinstalled Shockwave Flash 11.0.1.152 ... I do not know why or how but it fixed the problem Now everything is working HURRAY!
