    I was just trying to post this answer and 3 times in a row it crashed with just one tab with VDr in it.

    So......with little conclusive evidence it would appear that the common denominator for me is VDr

    Something running on the VDr web pages is causing me the problem ?

    Probably badly written flash ads again

    I have unistalled all extensions and themes as will keep monitoring.

    Is that an extension ?

    It's taken me three attempts to get this reply in.

    Everytime I come to VDr now it crashes.

    Maybe my flash needs to be flashed with the latest version ?

    poppy4: I believe the flash killer in SWB is for IE only.

    Nix: The current flash is 8.0 r22. It's my understanding anything lower may be security compromised. You can check your version in FF by typing aboutlugins in the address bar. EDIT: Grrr! BBoard software is placing a smilie in my syntax! You should type about (then a ":" no quotes) plugins

    If you need to upgrade, here is the uninstall link. Do that before loading the new one. (You might remove flash anyway and see if your crashes are gone??)
    Just pick your version http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/kn...fm?id=tn_14157

    To upgrade, here the latest http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/ Which ever browser you are running when viewing the page will bring up the correct version for that browser.

    I found an extension called flashblock and installed that.

    I'll see how I go on Monday when I'm back at work.

    And if it works I'll try your suggestion Han.
