Be sure you don't have HTMLArea installed twice as a system extension and as a local extension. HTMLArea is now a default core extension in newer versions of TYPO3 (4.05+). This is not the case in pre 4.05 releases.
There was also a bug in HTMLArea with Firefox that caused the editor to hang.

To my knowledge the HTMLArea works only as a system extension now. If you are using an older version of TYPO3 (Pre 4.05) you may need to use a different editor.
CBstarter is also moving towards TinyRTE
