Thank you, Wolfgang, or that fix, but it seems to have lead to a cascade of other problems between Thunderbird and Firefox. For some reason the ability to drag-and-drop messages into folders in Thunderbird as gone away. that really puzzles me. But the 'killer' is when Firefox starts up. The machine freezes and there is a lot of disk activity. By 'freeze' mean it becomes unresponsive. The clock on the bottom bar doesn't update, mouse movement is sluggish and jerky and I can't switch windows. Eventually it starts responding again and I see the following message A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now or you can continue to see if the script will complete: script: file:///usr/lib/firefox/components/nsSessionstore.js There are only three tabs. Yes, I do have a lot of bookmarks collected over the years and a few newsfeeds. I've tried disabling everything except no-script (!!!) without effect. -- Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. --Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Speech (1801) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
