after the last firefox update if I use google a few times firefox doesnt close properly & wont restart unless I either reboot the machine or go into taskmanager & close it down there. It then re-opens correctly but with the last google pages displayed (even if they've been closed down before I attempted to close firefox) I'm not the only person with this problem I know of at least one other.

I have the same problem. If I open a google site, the browser no longer responds and the process must be stopped in task manager. This problem occurs on all google websites. For example mail.google.com, google.com and reader.google.ch.

OS: Windows 7 // Firefox: Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 and 8 // Language: German
