Regarding the firewall. I'm on an iBook SE and I talk to a number of
people on ICQ, MSN, and AOL. I've gotten the same hang up. You type a
message, hit enter and the rainbow wheel spins forever. It's done it
with both MSN and ICQ friends. I don't think that it has ever recovered
from MSN, Sometimes, if I wait long enough the ICQ message will go
through. Most of the time I get impatient and force quit and start Fire
again. It was only recently that I was too busy to bother with it and
when I went back to Fire, my message had sent and I got a reply. It
does tend to happen if Fire has been sitting unused for awhile.
Just my observations.
