    when im on certain sites that open a new window (for some reason even though i have the pop up blocker on??) i cant close them for a while. no matter if i click the red x or if i right click and try to click close it does nothing, i have to wait for the whole page to be done loading everything it has on it. so if its a ad or something that comes up it worries me there may be somehting there. even though i run kis i know with every av things can get through so im worried by the inability to close these pages for a long period of time (maybe 30-45 seconds before i can finally click close). has anyone else seen this issue??

    Maybe the reason is that you're using a beta, FF3 isn't ready yet.

    Hi,

    I did not experiment this kind of issue.
    A shoot in the dark : did you forced some extensions compatibility
    You can try to launch FF in safe mode and reproduce (or not ) this issue

    regards,

    MaB

    I'm using FF 3 Beta 4 as I type and I've never had any issues such as this.

    The only thing I have experienced so far is on Newzbin, with the font sizes changing sizes, and then when I refresh the page they go back to normal size.

    Perhaps try a new profile. The update to b4 from b3 borked my profile in all sorts of ways.

    I am seeing the exact same issue. I found this forum when I googled the symptom. Started happening when I upgraded from beta 3 to beta 4.
