FF 3.6.4 consistently hangs in Options menu

Question

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
FF 3.6.3 gave me absolutely no problems, and with considerably more extensions installed. After letting 3.6.4 automatically update, the browser hangs every time I load the Tools-->Options menu. Sometimes I have to click through a few of the choices to get a hang, but it's bound to happen after only a few clicks through the browser's options.
I tried uninstalling the browser and all user customizations, then re-installing 3.6.4 from scratch, but with the same results. Using the -safemode options with everything checked didn't get me any farther. Ideas?
== This happened
==
Every time Firefox opened
== after updating from 3.6.3 to 3.6.4
==
== Troubleshooting information
==
Also hangs if I start up in safemode with all the boxes checked...

I tried one more time to get a solution to this and a user came forward with the following:
I read the thread here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/707893
Mainly I think of the video card, specifically to reduce the hardware acceleration:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/hardwareacc.htm
Since the problem is a hang, not a crash, Mozilla I think does not get automated reports about it. There are several bug reports filed though (comments in bugs should follow the bug etiquette guidelines) I see these at least:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575787 this one mentions TortoiseCVS - you don't have that do you?
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587903 in this bug, a developer requests a stacktrace so that would be one way you could help (the bug has some info on how to create one)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513092 here, I believe a STR is being requested which seems like an abbreviation for stacktrace also
I was indeed running an older version of TortoiseCVS.
Getting rid of it made the latest Firefox build (3.6.11) fully functional!
Try the suggestions as I did, and then if that doesn't work for anybody else out there, try looking in Mozilla's reported bugs database for info on
"hangs" and maybe you'll get a good hit that applies to your sitiuation.
Good luck to those of you still wrestling with this!
