Has anyone else had firefox just become a total crash-o-matic since the latest patch? I fear having a shockwave or Flash session going less it blow up my computer.

Maybe it's because Adobe is now making the Flash player. Adobe is not my favorite company, never really liked their software (from a user interface and performance perspective, and yes that includes Photoshop). On the other hand, Macromedia, in my opinion, made the best user interfaces and solid performing software, so maybe Adobe will learn a thing or two.
It's probably not though, I'm just taking a cheap shot. :smile:
