I don't know if anyone else is noticing this but I am beginning to have more and more issues on FF. I have sites I cannot click on tasks where I cannot isolate the issues but it appears like "flash" conflicts but I have every plugin up tp date with current versions of flash and java.
It is getting so annoying I mean on eBay I cannot use FF to leave feedback....the click goes absolutely no where and on some site I cannot buy anything and have to go to IE.
I have installed Sea Monkey again on both main pc's and where this is a full feature browser it can cut through the issues but it does not have auto complete or spellcheck available and I have gotten quite used to both those features. I may have to reluctantly go back to IE for default I'm afraid.
Oh and I am on Vista with these issues but I don't feel Sp1 did a thing either way as one pc has it on and the other does not.

Rich,
Ive noticed issues with 'flash' on FF(with XP and Vista), and for those reasons have been using Opera browser again, as well as giving IE 8 a try which so far I like!

I'm just happy enough to know it isn't just me....well I will stick with Sea Monkey then.
