Do you use Zonealarm ?

Comment 2

got a rpivate mail from the reporter :
"Don't use 'Zone Alarm'..... re bug with Firefox.....which actually has stopped happening! "

marking wfm in that case. Usually a non killable process is a fault of a driver (like the zonealarm firewall driver) but great if it doesn't happen anymore.
