thanks for the reply - I may have to try loading it in a different
Firefox profile (i'll have to learn what that means first :P )
because I turned the logging on and couldn't make anything of the data
- currently the script tab is showing "Script Panel was inactive
during page load" even after reloading the page

heres an example of the log if you've got any ideas:
