Thanks for the news.  I don't pick all the latest very often.

Even back when I was running 5.5, I'd get those hangs/freezes.  I went
into FF's Preferences (I think) and disabled flash.  Most of the
problems went away.

One site I went to every day had flash stuff all over it.  When I
disabled the plugin, in the places where formerly there were
"eye-grabbing" advertisements there was no just code.  After a few weeks
they must have noticed, because the code was replaced by more or less
static images.  So maybe advertisers notice when people turn off the
flash crap.  And maybe that will make adobe eventually get their act
together.  Hope so... I kind of like some of the videos.
