Many times (not always) when I click on a URL in an email, the cursor (rotating arrow) lasts for 5-10 seconds, then nada. If I exit email to the desktop,nether the tool-bar icon, nor the Applications->Internet->Firefox Web Browser route will get me unto the web although the cursor shows a rotating arrow for a few seconds. Some other task may be executing as the hard disk is working away. Yet,I can get into Email without waiting (higher priority interrupt?).
1. Shouldn't there be a way of re-assigning priorities to the interrupts?
2. If my request has to wait, why should it be dropped completely making me re-enter the request every 5 seconds?
Thanks -- Bob T.

Have you tried running it from the command line and see what messages appear? I have found that to be useful on a fair number of occasions where mouse-started apps misbehaved....

Have you checked the ownership of the .mozilla" directory. I've found that mine was set to root.root when I used sudo accidently.
