worksforme on winxp
reporter (Lian), does this happen to tom.com or every site? Does Firefox hang or
crash?

this happen to tom.com. firefox hangs each time when browsing the site. I 
installed firefox on my two computers, firefox behaves the same on the two 
diffent computers when browsing tom.com. The site tom.com has a lot of popup 
windows and flashes. Firefox on winxp does not have this problem (I tried it 
on winxp).

Maybe the problem is caused by FLASH plugin. I deleted the FLASH plugin from
firefox directory. No more above problem occured. I can access those web sites
with no errors.
