A Prescott Dell, 9 Stable, I use at work does it too. The freezes last some number of second, longer if Youtube types of video is involved. Annoying. I'll try the graphics tip.

I use 8.3 and Firefox without problems. What extension did you install? Are they all properly updated? Earlier, it helped deleting firefox' directory in the user directory. Erich Erich, Thanks for your response. I've removed the .mozilla directory from my home directory. Let's see if it will make a difference. It is quite possible it will. I had updated the firefox port when I updated from 8.2 to 8.3. Thanks for the suggestion. joseph ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
