I just installed it but haven't use it yet. I've noticed issues with their latest updates, it's like they're trying too hard; kind of like facebook(won't get into that though). I do have quite a few add ons and plug ins on there too(some plug ins haven't been working since 5.0).
Something else I recently noticed was my CPU usage shooting up while using firefox(the newest update before the new 7... Usually it'll run around 2-5% usage but when I open up firefox it shoots to 20%. So if that's happening to me, it may be why yours is locking up on you.

I just built mine a few months ago and that's still happening.

Well, I found the problem I was having that was causing my CPU to shoot up and my proxy to freak out constantly. I installed Utorrent recently and it automatically installed a search feature into my browser; the search feature ended up causing it. After disabling the search bar it is back to normal for me now. I was thinking it was the issue all along but also was thinking it was the 7 update since I did both at the same time. Ah well, things are normal now.
