thanks much for your suggestions. Acutally this was, what I did numerous times. I also created a brand new user, called "firefox" :-)- just to be on the safe side. I do not blame the Suse Package, I think firefox is the culprit. Imho version 2.x was released much to early and it was rather more focused on bugreports and "run previous session" than on stability. Funnily I had stability problems with FF on Linux in multiple computers and multiple distros but never experienced the same with running FF on windows. I am using now the mozilla build with my stoneold original profile (derived from my ff 1.0x times" and a lot of extensions on top of it and it runs ok. regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
