Starting with version 1.2 of mozilla, a bug was introduced into the

"fast load" (startup) feature, that can cause mozilla to freeze,

usually when you try some action such as sending email or printing a

document. If your browser freezes, the first thing you should do is

kill the browser and try again (just in case it was a one time

thing). If it still freezes, try removing the fast load file as

follows:



1. Quit (or kill) mozilla.

2.

*On UNIX systems:*



*rm ~/.mozilla/*login*/*XXXXXXXX.slt*/XUL.mfasl*

where *login* is your login name and * XXXXXXXX.slt* is

some random directory name ending in .slt that you will

need to determine by looking in ~/.mozilla/*login*



*On Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 systems:*



Delete the file U:\.mozilla.w2k\User\puegzo40.slt\XUL.mfl



3. Start mozilla and try again. If it still does not work then

you should start over with fresh mozilla preferences. How Do I

Start With Fresh Mozilla Preferences?
