been having problems with mine too eamonn. one was down to a dodgy extension which meant i couldn't reopen firefox once shutting in down as it was still running in the background and now im getting a freezing problem which could be down to acrobat from what i read.

reinstalled etc etc last night so hopefully fixed it

acrobat is a pain but since I updated acrobat itself I have not had the problem anymore, even though it still slows FF down quite a bit :(
