[KLUG Members] Firefox hanging on Mandriva

[Green Proc]

Is it *only* the Thunderbird download page that 'hangs'?  And are other 
network applications (mail clients, instant messaging, ftp, etc) 
behaving properly when firefox is 'hung' on the Thunderbird download page?

We are all curious to see what findings you report :)
