Steve, thanks for the quick response. It is not this page specifically. When I spend a few minutes clicking on articles and blog entries, it will hang within 5 minutes or so. It's firefox 3.6.1 with no add ons and MacAfee anti virus. This particular website is the worst, but it does happen on other websites. It also happens on the other laptops with the same version of firefox and different anti virus packages -- one has Symantec and the other has Norton. In all cases I have to go to Task Manager to end the task.
Ok, just tried a link on this site and it froze up firefox with java script enabled. The link was "Five Flyers Who Need To Step Up In Chris Pronger's Absence". Thanks. Fred Fred Frederick C.

Which version of Firefox are you using? More importantly, what addons, toolbars, and antivirus are on the machine?
