Good Wednesday Morning

[Simon]

Okay, fine, what I meant to say was put an old shower curtain on the floor, then coat her liberally with oil first, then all the hot wax you want to spill, followed by a nice mummy wrap with some cling film. Turn the heat lamps on for a few minutes and when you unwrap her the wax will just fall off.

Wait... what was your question again?

Thank you, that's exactly what I am seeing, but I don't have it on for twenty hours straight. I browse for an hour and then close it without shutting it down then go back to browsing later. I have experienced everything you mentioned above, especially the pics not loading thing that had me very confused because it wasn't even showing that a pic should be there on the page when I knew it should.

The curser just freezes. I haven't had one come back to life and I honestly have no idea if you can kill apps through some kind of task manager so I end up having to turn it off.

Oh, and I did try my script with Safari and had the same issues. My brother-in-law changed my script to work with Firefox on the Mac by changing the way it refreshed and it was working, but I think the update to Firefox broke it again which makes absolutely no sense to me.

Hold down "Command Option Escape" to bring up the task manager.

You can also open it from the Apple menu but if the front most application is not responding then this way often will not work but "Command Tab" will switch between running applications.

I like to leave my Activity Monitor open on my second monitor sorted by cpu usage. You can force quit from this too.

Maybe the newer version has been made more compliant with the Acid Test.
