I have seen the same behavior in recent weeks/months, in Firefox (3.6.11), Seamonkey (1.1.10), and Epiphany (2.20.0) ... my only answer also has been to force quit ... sometimes the browser will force quit, sometimes I have to kill Gnome (<Ctrl-Alt-Backspace>), and sometimes I have just rebooted (although I don't think a reboot was ever necessary).
My spouse who uses Seamonkey 2.1.x has also had the same issue ... her fuse in shorter than mine and I believe she usually just reboots/resets. I know she hates pop ups and quickly leaves any site that uses them. I should be interested in any suggestions or insight, as well Regards Fred James _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
