I am a Firefox user ,having just updated to Firefox 4 .

I was experiencing freezing whenever I used a search engine ( Google,Bing etc)

I disabled Bullguard Safe Browsing add on and everything runs with no problem.

Im posting this in case you encounter a similar problem .

I have had exactly the same problem (in all beta version also of Firefox 4) and only today discovered that it was the safe browsing toolbar from Bullguard.
So safe it stops all web searches from working meaning no chance of getting malware!
I have disabled it and all is working well.
As ever a security suite has a bad glitch that they don't seem to want to address.

Now my browser in unsafe thanks to their malfunctioning toolbar

I don't think my browser is unsafe as a result, I do use WOT.
I guess it maybe that this "glitch" has only just come to light as many people will not use betas or RC versions of browsers.

I'm sure /hope someone from Bullguard will comment on this.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay, I wanted to make sure that the issue is correctly forwarded. I submitted an inquiry yesterday and they are now working on it. In the mean time the Safe browsing option should be disabled. I will post here when the issue is solved so you can update and enable it back.
Cheers,

I am also having the same problem with Firefox4 but also as a note other anti virus programs safe browsing options seem to be experiencing the same problems with Firefox4 (so it may not be just related to bullguard). I have found that by turning off the safe searching option everything runs fine.

What have the last two posts got to do with the subject of the Safe Browsing Toolbar Problem?

Both writers sound somewhat confused.
