   To me, this is insanity. This approach is making Firefox less and less   
   appealing. Unfortunately Seamonkey is doing the same thing so I appear   
   to be "stuck".

   And I deeply appreciate your efforts! (And understand you three having   
   nothing to do with the "insanity" of the rapid release schedule.)

   Not for me.   
      
   As I posted elsewhere, I am having sporadic problems while navagating    
   the web:   
   - Pages that never finish loading   
   - Pages that "finish" loading (as indicated by the throbber and a    
   "Done" message at the bottom) but are completely enpty. (Even "View    
   source" shows nothing!?)   
      
   These problems started as I switched to a new system and a DSL    
   connection (from a very old system with a dialup connection. I did not   
   have these problems with the old system. So I do not think the    
   problems are due to some inherent part of eCS.    
      
   My DSL provider, Verizon, will not help me unless I pay them because I   
   am not using Windows. And I cannot afford to pay them. So I have been    
   trying to figure out what is going on by myself, with help from kind    
   people like you on Usenet.   
      
   As part of my search for the cause(s) of my problems, I deleted the    
   MOZILLA_HOME and MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH settings from CONFIG.SYS so I could    
   try different browsers, each with their own profiles.   
      
   I have found that while the problems do not disappear they are less    
   severe if I start with a fresh profile. And I started looking at the    
   Firefox "Error Console" to see if there indications of why these pages   
   were causing so much trouble. It is while I was looking at the Error    
   Console right after deleting the profile directory that I noticed that   
   there were errors before I evan started trying to load the problematic   
   pages. This is what led me to my question about the errors that seem    
   to accompany a fresh install of Firefox.   
      
   Any suggestions for how I can diagnose or fix my bigger problem (or    
   where I should go to get such help) will be greatly appreicated!   
      
   Thanks!
