    I was just browsing when I got a crash from FF. After I restarted it, it all went wrong. I don't use System Restore, but I got this solved with a fresh FF install, same version.

    I tried that in my Firefox 2.0.0.12 and it loaded the page without crashing. It took quite a long time, noticeably longer than it took Internet Explorer to load the same page, but it loaded it. I appear to be missing a Java plugin in Opera, my main browser, and I'm too lazy to download it so I can't compare speeds there.

    IE faster than Firefox! :eek: Didn't think it was possible! But memory usage is marginally higher on IE.

    Windows XP here. Vista gave me problems just as vexing and unsolvable as your current Firefox problem so I now avoid it like the plague. With somewhat more success than I have avoiding the plague.

    I tried loading the mentioned page in FF 3 beta 3 and it didn't even load the java applet, but in IE7 it loaded very quickly and had the applet up and running soon.
