Firefox hangs with script running

Firefox takes about 3 minutes to close down even with all extensions disabled. It comes up with a script error:

Script: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:85

I've never used Chrome so I don't know what this is referring to. Any suggestions on trying to remove this?

I have had this problem reoccurring for several "updates" to Firefox. I am currently on 3.6.13 It was so bad I was ready to switch to Chrome. I would get a "script error" - the program seemed to be in a loop (judging by the CPU usage on the task monitor) and I usually had to just kill the process.

I am on XP Home Edition SP3.

Others have pointed to a problem in the extensions -

I looked at my extensions and apparently the browser had updated Java Console 6-7 times - and the previous versions hadn't been deleted. I deleted all but the latest (6.0.21) and the problems seems to have been resolved.
