Have you got a direct link to the page that crashes Mozilla?
I'm using Moz 1.7 (release version) and it's fine, it even displays very well - no overlapping text etc.
The new game, with its insane system requirements, will only have a handful of monsters at a time (about three, if I understood the Telefragged review correctly).
I've played the game for around ten hours now and I can tell you that you'll see in excess of twenty "monsters" on screen occasionally.
Anyway I just wanted to say most users don't need Firefox despite what you might read. I guess this is pretty obvious, it accounts for a fraction of 1% of browser usage after all.
Mozilla usage is actually much higher, maybe around 5% but even 1% is still hundreds of thousands of people, maybe even millions...
Well I'm not waiting around for them to dump the only windows browser I use, so I'm going to make a switch now. Hopefully I can keep the pain to a minimum, but it will mean downloading the ENTIRE Java runtime enviorment on a dialup... I'll see you in 2020.
You should really be using the Sun Java anyway though, even with IE, because Microsoft are no longer allowed to bundle any form of it (i.e. Java VM) with Windows.
You can see what's stored in the RAM in Mozilla browsers by typing "about:cache?device=memory" into the address bar.
If it's using too much memory, you can try reducing the RAM cache by typing "about:config" into the address bar then look for the key "browser.cache.memory.capacity" and change the value to 1024 or something similar.

For those of you who don't have a GPU with pixelshaders, you can try the original which started the whole thing, the 64kb fr-08:

... but maybe this will stop bad console to pc ports (HALO) from happening. theres nothing i hate more than seeing options in an options menu which have been greyed out because they were there from the console version.
FYI, Halo was a PC to XBox to PC port and was originally designed and promoted using the GeForce 2 GTS (remember those?).
I've played the console and PC versions and know for a fact that there are no greyed out options, unless it's for a feature which your pre-DirectX9 graphics card doesn't do.
Look like Microsoft will get the predicted 10% fine (of annual global sales) and removal of WMP from Windows. Bring on the competition...
IMO, the competition just isn't quite as good.
I've never found a way to view video clips full screen in Quicktime, Real Player can't be trusted and all the decent OSS players are written for Linux.
Media Player 9 is a very good player, although it damn well should be when you consider the millions of development dollars thrown at it.
It's only for US businesses at the moment, although I expect that if the beta version is successful then they'll bring us a UK version like they did with Google News.
It might be expensive though, our Yellow Pages data is owned and maintained by BT and knowing that BT is always talking about new deals with Microsoft, I can't see it happening...
That's actually a very good reason *but* I knew of someone who had a Sony Network Walkman years ago and that was perfectly usable.
At the very least though, mobile phones or PDAs will make a huge leap forward if they can use this amount of storage in a drive no bigger than the battery.
Apple, Creative and other people who make these HD-based mp3 players really should use hard drives like this.
One of the main reasons that I haven't bought an iPOD yet is because of the size of the thing...

Oh I don't think the BBC has to worry about their bandwidth ;)l

Surely you are referring to SGML, not "STML"?

I'm not sure how long it's been around but there is an excellent FTP package called Filezilla which is completely unrelated to the Mozilla Foundation.
