For me, it freezes up for 2-3-5 minutes the first time that one of those "popup-windows" comes up after a clean Firefox start. After the first one that comes up, subsequent ones are fine. I opened a bug with the Mozilla people, but it got closed and marked as a duplicate of this bug (which they say has been fixed in their 1.8 CVS):= https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D305970 I have not yet tried to build the CVS, but it is a very annoying bug indeed since other things seem to crash 1.5 like the mplayer plugin and then I have to restart FF...therefore experiencing the problem again. -Mark FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE [amd64] Xfce 4.2.3.2 GTK 2.8.10 --=20 GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941) --------------enig028E7750BEAF56D1F409CA69 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD2nlGlH2ybcmj7I8RArvGAJwNZXBfp1HSy2zUvamRX3qIY+ol9gCgwPvY Exwl/OZtTrrw0XcK8Cd+xFc= =EL22 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig028E7750BEAF56D1F409CA69--
