Same here; no problems yet.

You guys must be running some hokey extensions or something. I've installed 2.0 on half a dozen computers that I use between home and work and find it every bit as stable as the last release.

It happened a couple of times on another computer that I've used as well. Anyone else run into this problem? I'm wondering if it's an extension that I'm using that's causing it.

Same thing happens to me. Sometimes when clicking on a link that opens a new window or a link that opens a pop up, it'll freeze the browser requiring me to "end task"

Seems to work fine in safe mode, but I still haven't been able to isolate which extension is causing it. I've tried disabling most of them, but I still get lockups...even with extensions that are supposedly compatible with FF2.0
