It's related to flash. When I disable the flash plugin, Firefox works smoothly. I suspect a lot of sites are using a new version of flash, which doesn't go down well with the existing browsers. I run portsnap and portmaster through a daily cron, so the ports directory is always up-to-date. -- Regards Manish Jain invalid.pointer@gmail.com +91-96500-10329 Laast year I kudn't spell Software Engineer.
