I recently installed the Winamp Toolbar and everytime I closed FF, it would hang and stay open and my CPU would be 100%. The only way to shut it down was thru the task manager. It took me some time to figure out exactly what the problem was but after uninstalling just the Winamp Toolbar, FF closed smoothly. So, im pretty positive it has to do with Winamp Toolbar. I have contacted Winamp but with no response.

I am running Windows 7 Premium Home Edition (64-bit) and Firefox 3.6.10.

I wanted to add that I've been having this problem as well. I believe it is not OS specific, because I've been having this both on my XP & my windows 7 ( both 32bit home editions).

I can add that just disabling the addon suffices to prevent the problem. But if you can't use it, you're better of uninstalling it anyway
