Does the Google cached page do the same thing? Hurry up and get it, I |
59 |
don't know how long google's gonna have it up ;) |

My guess is it has something to do with the flash mp3 player on their page |
65 |
(I see nothing else out of the ordinary). It comes from |
66 |
http://www.myspacegeeks.com/myspace-generators/flash-mp3-player/ - that |
67 |
page may/should kill everything as well if that was the problem. |

I had no problems with anything freezing up on Windows, but firefox would |
70 |
no longer type after having that window open for a few moments. It could |
71 |
have been something else I did, but the behavior stopped after I closed |
72 |
the profile. |
