I have a different problem with Firefox (XP). If I close it down and try to restart it almost immediately, it will refuse to run. I might have to try 5 or 6 time before it will actually start up again. If I let it rest for a while after I close it, it will start normally. It has been this way for quite some time. No freeze problems, though. Anyone else have this problem?

How much available memory have you got? It sounds like the prog is using mem-cache on the HD. It takes a bit on a XP box to reset it, slower HD’s slower reset.. It takes about 3 secs on my vista machine but I run a lot of stuff and use more than two Gs of mem just to start it. I need 4 G's really...

Sometimes if I close firefox then try to open it again it will tell me the program is still running even though it is not listed as running in task manager application tab. I click on the process tab from the task manager and shut the firefox.exe down. Then open firefox again and it opens.

Do you reboot the system?
