I have the same issues since updating to FF 1.5. For me, it freezes up
for 2-3-5 minutes the first time that one of those "popup-windows" comes
up after a clean Firefox start. After the first one that comes up,
subsequent ones are fine.

I opened a bug with the Mozilla people, but it got closed and marked as
a duplicate of this bug (which they say has been fixed in their 1.8 CVS):=


https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D305970

I have not yet tried to build the CVS, but it is a very annoying bug
indeed since other things seem to crash 1.5 like the mplayer plugin and
then I have to restart FF...therefore experiencing the problem again.
