It's not just you. I normally use linux for everything, but bought a new Acer laptop (8G RAM windows) and have been doing some testing in Windows. Since loading 2.33.1 (same profile as linux)and have experienced frequent freezes in SeaMonkey only - doesn't seem to affect the rest of the machine. Unfortunately it happened last night after spending 3 hours doing work on it & was in the middle of creating a final report email and... freeze. I can see each window but they fade to pale background and freeze. The only way to resolve the problem is to kill SeaMonkey. Unfortunately this is not an easy problem to troubleshoot (for me anyway) as it doesn't crash, just freezes. I've not experienced the problem while using linux on this machine, but have on my other linux laptop when I've used SeaMonkey for several hours. I do not experience the same problem when using in linux or Windows with Chrome, Chromium, Opera, Opera Mail. I only use Firefox or Thunderbird for testing/updating so I don't know if the problem exists in those products. Anyone have any advise on how to troubleshoot this - it is definitely not hardware, and no I can't just work for a few hours in safe mode.
