| Firefox for Mac is still somewhat unstable. Every once in a while it freezes reminiscent of a Windows application and sometimes it just randomly stops recognizing the keyboard. I don't have any continuous problems though; it's all occasional. I don't know what to do, really; if it persists I'd just use Safari for a while and see if Firefox is acting the same way later. Maybe wait for 1.0.7?

| Paul I have been struggling with this identical problem, now for several weeks. While I am a volunteer on this site in another area, I have communicated with several people on this issue to no avail. On especially sharp lady on this site is Cheryl. And together we still can't get it!.. As the post above suggests you might just hold on with Safari until maybe a newer version appears. By the way what are the specs on your machine? Mine are: Machine Name: Mac mini Machine Model: PowerMac10,1 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 1.42 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 512 MB Bus Speed: 167 MHz Boot ROM Version: 4.8.9f1 Serial Number: YM5200FGRHS If you feel like taking this offline you can contact me at millerchriscusa@netscape.net This way if we find a solution we can better inform each other. Chris

| Try out Camino. It's basically Firefox that acts like a Mac application should. It's from Mozilla.org also.

| Firefox is very stable for me, usually never quit it. Take the Firefox folder out of the user>library>application support - leave it on your Desktop. Trash this preference file - org.mozilla.firefox.plist trash the Firefox app. Reinstall and open Firefox. Then put your bookmarks back from the Firefox folder on your desktop.
