Any idea what's going on on your system when this happens? Firefox show up in the Task Manager? Do you notice this on a specific box (XP, 98, etc) or any? I did pull the files from a regular install of Firefox (EXE) instead of the ZIP to be sure I got the official 0.9RC build rather than a nightly. Did you notice the hanging problem with my earlier build?
Yes, I've noticed that FireFox IS in the task manager. All computers i've tested on so far have been Win XP Pro.
I have the same problem with the latest (RC) builds as well..
I noticed that firefox.exe is in the task manager(in the processes list, but not in the application list), taking up around 19k of memory (normal). CPU usage spikes up during this time (close to 100% on a fairly new computer).
After around 30-40 seconds, Firefox MAY appear on the desktop, but it is utterly useless as nothing on the browser works (cannot type in address, search bar, click any buttons). Basically it feels like a screenshot of firefox appeared on the desktop, as you cant do anything with it.
Something strange i've noticed.. If I double click the batch file twice (double click once, then immediately again), two windows of firefox launch. The first window is the unresponsive one, but the second one seems to work.. I've been baffled by this behavior, as I never know what works and what doesnt..
Regarding the extensions bug, has anyone filed anything on this? Or maybe I'll have a go at trying to work bugzilla :P
