I a wondering how she is coping with Thunderbird constant freeze ups? I

freezing?
I know it is there in v12 too.


Funny, my TB, which is *always* up-to-date, has never froze. And I use
TB with 12 email accounts. I don't use TB for newsgroups, preferring to
keep things separate and using Seamonkey.

I've never had a problem either. I use both the windows and
*nix versions and have for several years.


I've used it since Netscape.


I have used it since Netscape also.

About a year ago I was typing a message to a newsgroup and I noticed the
on screen letters weren't keeping up with the keyboard. I would stop
typing and it would catch up.

I traced the problem down to the Shockwave Flash plugin in Firefox, it
was showing 100 percent CPU usage. What was strange, was that it would
do it only on one website, and that happened to be my home page, and
where I read all the news.

Very interesting. I have FF 25 installed, and have just disabled the
Shockwave plug-in. I'll see what happens. This was never mentioned the
Mozilla thread I've been mentioning. But your description is exactly
what happens to me.

Did it happen even if FF was not running? I usually have both TB and FF
running.

I contacted the news station and told them about it, and even the
advertisement that was causing it.

It hasn't happened again. Now you can set Flash to ask to activate.
