TB was still insisting to drop ngs (usually the last        ones I would write to). Today, it failed completely - would        load - citing an error - and only offering to Quit or Restart        and send an error report to Mozilla.              That was version 68.0.7 32bit. Meanwhile, I uninstalled        that, and installed the most recent: 78.x 32bit. But the        same thing happened - it would fail to load.              Uninstalled that and installed the 64bit version. Partial        success. I was able to send a message or two, but the overall        performance was terrible and sluggish - almost using the        entire 4GB ram that I had.              The next time I went to load the program - fail, and it only        offered to Quit/Restart and send an error report.              I think TB on that particular system and its original        collection of ngs - is toast.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.46        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 120/340 123/131 129/305 154/10 203/0 221/1       SEEN-BY: 221/6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 452 550 664       SEEN-BY: 229/1016 240/5832 249/110 206 317 400 280/464 5003 288/100       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/101 426           |
