Firefox hangs 4 out of 5 startups
Issue
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
Description
I have used versions 3.5.6 through 3.6.3. All versions hang exactly the same on most startups. I have to reopen in safe mode, then reopen again in normal mode before it will open without freezing. Sometimes I attempt to reopen in normal mode and it takes at least 4 or 5 attempts before I am successful loading Firefox. I have had basically the same extensions since before this problem started and have either uninstalled or disable any new extensions. I've removed all third party plugins. except shockwave and futuresplash (not even sure what that one is, google is not my friend!)
Firefox has always failed to start at some point, but for the last couple months it's been almost every time. Perhaps it's a setting in my about config?

I have done extensive testing with all 17 of my extensions. I opened firefox 100 times with each extension enabled progressively (average test was 6 times per extension enabled). Lastpass caused the browser to hang both by itself and in combination with all other extensions. Firefox ONLY hung when this extension was enabled.
I suggest that Mozilla force Lasspass to debug their product before allow users to install their addon. It's unfortunate as it is one I rely upon heavily.

I ran the "Find Updates" under the Firefox addon menu and installed all updates just day before yesterday and it never showed an update beyond 1.66.0 for LastPass for some reason.
I just saw that LastPass was updated to 1.68.2 back on May 4th when I visited Mozilla's LastPass addon page! So long story short I was able to open Firefox 20 consecutive times with the new LastPass enabled without a hitch!
SOLVED FOR ME AFTER MONTHS OF HANGING AND FORCE QUITS....
I UPDATED JAVA.. Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 9 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4438

Almost everytime I start firefox it freezes. I can type the first letter of the web address I am going to and then it freezes. i have to wait about 10 seconds and then it's okay again. annoying! http://www.screw-paypal.com by the way.
