I promisse this is the last call for help here, but I thought you might know something about this. Still having issues with Firefox hangs. When browsing the file system file:// it hangs at some directories and not at others. I can't make up which ones are the ones that make the browser hang, but it always hangs at the same directories. Also, to restart, I sometimes need to remove the sessionstore.js file, this is the olny file that I need to remove to have the browser back up. I don't even know how to look for some error logs. I guess my next step will be running Firefox under gdb, but I'd hate to have to resort to that!
