Browsers that are more modern --Webkit-based Safari, Konqueror, Google Chrome and even (yeech) Trident-based Internet Exploder 8[1]-- don't have this problem because they are "multi-process"; the current incarnation of Gecko is only "multi-threaded". There are rumors that Gecko developers will address this. Until then, handle these using a download manager. . . [1] ...but none of those has the extension infrastructure that Gecko does. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
