Firefox hangs when I try to load Facebook for the first time after starting my computer

Whenever I start my computer, open firefox and then try loading facebook, my browser hangs for a few minutes & only then it is back to normal. The irony is that it is happening only with Firefox 4. The earlier versions never posed any such problem.

Kindly help me resolve this issue. Else I'll be forced to switch to Google Chrome.

OS: Win 7 Ultimate [32 bit]

Was it a threat, or a promise. :P Anywho, I haven't had (much) Facebook issues with the new 4.x version of Firefox.. Mostly they are flash x64 problems, since Adobe hasn't updated the 64bit version of their plugin since, like, last year.

ps. Btw., the generic answer to this question would be, as always (if you're still having issues :)), try running Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode and/or try a fresh profile (Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data), to see exactly what the deal is. ;D
