 Hello Chris,
 thank you for your reply. I was already in contact with Florian Smeets
 who was very helpful. We did some experiments but without success.
 He already has all information about my computer incl. all installed ports.
 
 Even after a clean re-install without any addons I see this behaviour.
 The funny thing is, Florian sent me Firefox 3.6 as pre-built package,
 which runs fine on my computer. The only dependency I had to reinstall
 was perl. After deinstalling the package I tried another build from
 source and had the same problem again. So I think it must be something
 with my build environment.
 
 BTW, did I mention that I have to stay with Thunderbird 2 for - I think -
 the same reason? Thunderbird 3 hangs too with encrypted connections.
