First time you run FF after a big update, it spends a bunch of time checking all the plug-ins you've got installed against possible updated versions - that includes the gazillion language packs I did notice another thread about pcscd and fans running if I'm not mistaken - I didn't read it because my machines are both desktops, but check the posts over the past day or two As for the rest of the stuff, as you say, easily fixable Glad it worked out - I got a little vicariously nervous because of your rooting proclivities '> -------------------------------------------------> -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
