Yes, I expected that kind of form response. 
Extensions/safemode/hardware. Blame everything but the actual app. This 
kind of response is the default on every forum and support group. It's 
tiresome and patronizing.

fwiw, extensions running are adblock plus, dom inspector, autofill 
forms, add bookmarks.. there are a few, but it doesn't make any 
different whether they are running or not. The behavior is part of FF, 
not the addons. I'm not so stupid that I haven't ruled these out.
The hardware is a 3.2ghz HT pentium on W7 with 2gig. It's plenty fast 
enough for what should be a simple web browser. It runs photoshop and 
dreamweaver, side by side, faster than FF on its own.
