Part of the Logitech Control Center - famously crappy and ill-mannered software and using haxies, which Apple will feel (quite rightly) under no obligation to support.

If Shakespeare......had a blog it would be like this.

Can you tell me how to prevent Firefox from showing table and cell divisions ...

Afraid you can't, they're a function of the page design. If the designer hasn't set border to zero, they'll display in one form or another in all the browsers that I've played with.

I've never had any problems with Safari and it looks nice and clean but I still generally prefer Firefox.

I second that. Neither Safari 3 or 4 cause any problems. If you want Firefox, might as well get Windows and be done with it.

As a potential solution, repair permissions and fsck your drive � restart holding cmd-s then when boot has finished enter 'fsck -yf'. Once that finishes, if it says changes were made to the disk, run fsck again. Finally enter 'reboot'. If you are running a G5, the fans will spin to jet engine level. This is normal.

If no help, check the Internet Plug-ins for out of date plug-ins and also see how much CPU time Safari is taking up in Activity Monitor. It could be trying to check RSS feeds that are jammed for example

Thanks for the info. Yes I was really comparing it with Safari which is much cleaner but of late has seemed to become less stable which is a shame as it is much quicker too.

Yes, I find that safari will 'hang' and then seconds later will quit, this is with multiple tabs and windows open.

I usually have about 4 Safari windows open and one of those windows has 10 tabs, it is ok for a few days at a time.

Ta, I don't have an 'Input Managers' folder, but there are one or two plugins (DivX, flip4mac). it doesn't crash often enough for me to pursue what's causing the problem though.

Last 2 versions of safari have been total poo for me. Only have to leave it open and ignored with a single page open and it goes to high cpu usage 60%+ when it is basically just minimised and having to do nothing. Not impressed. I use firefox and camino mainly. It is already the browser of last resort due to its poor behaviour in the past.
