Hi every body, sorry for this delay in answering to you guys!

Btw, Mark, you've made the same discovery as i did. Idd, Firefox only crashes when using Netlog!
I've used Firefox without to many troubles since i no longer use it to go on the Netlog site.
I try to understand how Netlog causes so many problems with Firefox because with other browsers there are no such problems.

Anyway, thx for your support, and Best wishes for 2008.

Dakta.

Hi Mark, just like you're saying, the problem occurs only when on Netlog.
Weird but anyway, thanx for your support, and best wishes for 2008.
