Since I upgraded to FF4 beta 7 I can't move an un-maximized window of the browser (this also applies to pop-up windows). The browser completely freezes and I have to start the task manager to finish the process. It's really annoying.

This can be a problem with Direct2D, you can try to disable the hardware acceleration.
