Firefox had an update oh, I don't know, a couple days ago. After installing it (at least that's the only correlation I can come up with), I've been noticing some weird things. Don't notice a particular pattern, either. usually happens in little clumps though - ok for a while, then a couple hours of dumb behavior.

-sometimes when clicking on a random link OR when trying to search from the address bar search thing, it starts, then the little circle doodads that show progress just kind of stop and freeze, and the bottom bar says 'done' ... but nothings happened.

-sometimes when clicking on a random link, I go to the random link's page, but the page appears all weird...hard to explain, but looks like it was all done in very basic html - graphc representations are all gone etc, just basics show up.

sometimes these result in a 'not responding' and a force quit. sometimes no. is anyone else having these issues? I checked out firefox's site and msg boards and saw no mention of weirdness.

I'd try making a new profile and see if the problem persists:
