Re: firefox freeze

Nick,

I am seeing this on 64 bit Slack 13.37, 32 bit 13.37, and (my wife and
coworkers report) on various versions of Windows. Meanwhile Opera seems to
work fine. To my consternation I am getting lots of missing libraries when
I try to run Chromium on my development box running 64 bit 13.37 (both
alien bob's slackbuild - and the slacky.eu package).

My solution: downgrade to version 38.0. Works just fine.

Cheers,
Tom
