If you try to check your inbox, before the flash advert is fully loaded then Firefox just hangs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to yahoo mail 2. quickly click on your inbox 3. If you wait 10-15 seconds to allow the advert to load then its ok. Actual Results: Firefox does not respond and hangs until you Ctl Alt Del. Firefox seems to open 2 explorers and uses up every last bit of system resource. Expected Results: Click on inbox and it loads up your mail This is a Firefox problem as this problem doesn't occur in other browsers. It happens on all my computers so its not a local problem either.
Fist, what version of Flash are you running? Also, please create a new test profile, and see if it will hang there. http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles

same as bug 506442?
I am using Shockwave Flash version 10.0.22.87
Vince, please look at the bugs listed in comment 2 and 3 and see if one of them is your issue. Also, please update your flash. 10.0 r22 has a major security hole, and the latest also fixes some other issues.
This a duplicate of my bug i have the same problem with inbox ,it's freezing and after 10-15 seconds it tells me to stop a script.
