Hi Bipin, It's not rated as a serious risk, is it? Simply a DoS. This is not sorely related to trivial memory consumption, neither. The scenario you're descriping has been around for ages and is related to system resources. This is not. Regards Peter Kruse

Firefox only slows down (using 100% cpu) if you are using a slow PC. And after the binary file have been completed loded. Everything works normal...... frankly, there are lot of such similar bugs. If you open multiple windows and multiple tabs at once, firefox locks/reservs the memory (pagefile) that its using even when some of the tabs are closed. You have to restart mozilla (close all the open windows) to free the memory. huh, nothing serious isn't it...... bipin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
