It's a nice browser but some sites (e.g:http://www.intranetjournal.com/) and some actions like switching browser windows while one of the windows is loading a heavy page make the browser crash and hang the OS. It feels like I'm running MSWindows, I get a "freeze screen", the keyboard becomes completely irresponsive. No keyboard combination (Alt+F2; Ctr+Alt+Backspace;Ctrl+Alt+Del or Ctrl+Alt+Fn) works. The only action possible is to hit the Reset button (very Windows like). I've searched the mailing list archive and there is reference to this problem: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2759317+2761291+/usr/local/www/d b/text/2001/freebsd-questions/20010325.freebsd-questions But there is no follow up. As a web developer I must test my work under this browser but every time I use it I'm afraid to sneeze. I am sure that there is something I can do to stop this from happening, I just don't have the knowledge to do it. Any ideias/sugestions?
