I believe this problem with windows freezing is a Firefox bug. I've =20
read some reviews that mention this problem. I don't even use tabs in =20=

Firefox, and still have the problem. Also, this is something new. =20
I've been using Firefox for several years, and this never happened =20
until only about three or four weeks ago. Hopefully, someone will =20
come up with a fix for the nasty little bugger .......
