I've seen this many many times on my system. I use the natively built firefox 1.02 on freebsd 4.11. I _constantly_ get hangs on FF at least once a day. I disable all plugins (I don't have java or flash even installed; and I disable jscript for most sites, manually, via the prefsbar). the hang is random and not always tied to any kind of page/content. I have read that there is suspicion on the thread model (?) on bsd. the windows folks (and I think the linux guys, also) don't have this problem. its on netbsd and freebsd (at least). for now, I'm trying the native linux binary (built by the FF folks) on bsd to see if linux emulation helps 'fix' the bug. fyi, mozilla (native on freebsd from ports) never seems to hang on me. ONLY firefox, from 1.0 thru 1.0.2. /bryan
