After I hit submit below, your sw kicked back and said I HAVE to pick a
component.  Well, I only have a PhD in physics, excuse me, I could not
determine which component to pick.  So I picked "general".  Happy?

Please send my remark below to your non-techenical manager:

"The general public don't understand computer technicalities and they shouldn't have to.  If you'll remember this, it will do your bussness a lot of good.
Apple understands this."

If you have yahoo messenger installed please look at this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326344#c8 if that fixes the issue then this is a duplicate of that bug.

Thanks for the quick response.  Using your suggestion I added
"WAS" to the front of the file SnpSTate.dll and yahoo email hasn't crashed
firefox since.  Problem appeared to be fixed.

Could you please tell your buddies at yahoo to fix this problem?
I wouldn't know how to reach them.

In the meantime, would it be possible to add this to the know issues section of the default Firefox/Minefield home page (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minefield/)? 


Thanks and regards,
