Funny this should come up. Since I put 1.5 on, I've had alot of crashes in Firefox on my laptop. My desktop seems to be fine though. It's caught me a little off guard sometimes too. I actually deleted all of my mozilla settings and files (exported my bookmarks ;) and then reinstalled. I then loaded up all my extensions and had the same crashing problem. Once I unloaded all my extensions, I was fine... but I really miss them! _____________________________________ Julian Zottl CTO, Radiant Network Technology, LLC Getting ahead in the tech sector isn't about kissing butt ... you gotta sniff the right packets
