This just started happening in the last couple days, but about 4 times a day, G-mail will lock up Firefox on me.

Using 2.0.0.13, on a Toshiba laptop, running XP.

Anyone else get this?

When I get to the Task Manager when this happens, it’s not using an obscene (for Firefox anyway) amount of memory, usually only near 100K.

Nope. I’ll have a couple other tabs open, but not the same ones all the time. And it happens when I open, reply or try to forward an e-mail.

Weird stuff.
