Updated to Firefox4 and now it crashes every time I use a search engine... goggle, yahoo, bing, take your pick.

Question

I updated to Firefox4 and at first everything seemed to run just fine, but then I tried to search for something, using Google... it crashed.I tried again, then with several other search engines... it crashed every time and took everything else with it.
I tried it with both the search bar and by manually typing in the add for the search engine. If I call up the site nothing bad happens, but it still crashes as soon as I start a search. Tried it with Explorer and Safari and everything worked ok, it's just Firefox having these problems.

Hi talaimosr,
I understand that you have changed your default search engine because of the constant crashes. Please make sure that you do not have more than one version of Flash installed on the about:addons page.
Please also be sure to run run in Safe Mode to make sure its not an add on causing the crashing. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
