Currently, I have SeaMonkey 1.1.18. I did a custom install without mail-news. I do not bother with RSS. I see the freeze whenever a page contains JavaScript that causes additional scripts to download and then execute. I especially see it when such a chain of scripts involves a final display that is a PDF document in my browser window. but I also occasionally see it when the chain of scripts does not involve PDF. Because of this, I used the PrefBar extension to create a JavaScript checkbox. Unchecking the checkbox disables JavaScript. Now, when I visit a Web site where I've seen this freeze in the past, I uncheck. Sometimes I have to be alert to check the checkbox when navigating through such a site to a page that is just plain broken without JavaScript. -- David E.
