Never tried this combo, yet.
Yes, I've had a few "experience's" the next mornin' after eating a weird dinner.

I suggest you DON'T try it.

Yepperz, my best bet is to line something up beforehand so that I can just pop it in the microwave & start munching.

Hey, just curious, does anyone elses FF take a while to find updates for the plug ins? I made some modifications to the about:config settings & I don't know if taking over a minute is just the standard now or if it's something I did. It used to be you checked for updates & they showed up within 5 seconds. Now it take about 1 1/2 minutes.

Morning Steve

Hate is too strong, hate will eat you up. Sad is OK :)

I have not tweaked any settings in my FF, so don't know what you did ? But if I check for updates it does not take much time for me....under say 10 sec's if I had to guess.

Mine still does the occasional crash, even after the last update.

Yeah, I still get the zombie fox sometimes. That's what they named it a while back when you shut it off & it doesn't, then you go to open it & it says it's already running.

Soooo...it might have been something I did. Oh well, I'm leaving it the way it is. I still get updates, just takes a bit longer. Basically I modified some of the addys FF reports to, by modified I mean I removed them so it can't contact home. Everything else works great....so far (knock on wood)

Don't use FF, but have Pale Moon. It's check for add-on updates is fast, a few seconds. But then, I only have a few. Perhaps one of the add-ons is hard to ping?

I've had no crashes with FF .... yet... but I have seen it slow down sometimes. When it starts slowing down, I close it, then run CCleaner, then start it back up. Then its back up to speed.

Yeah, I just added ViewAbout to FF & I was wondering if that had anything to do with it. According to the network activity, it looks like it's communicating with each individual plug in database whereas it used to just query one addy.

Like I said, probably something I did. Guess I voided the warranty?
