facebook crashes mozilla
Karl Anderson
hangs while waiting for static.connect.ak.facebook.com then shuts down
with the error message that Mozilla.exe has encountered a problem and
must be shut down. I have been finding more and more sites that crash
mozilla. I have updated to the latest java thinking it is a java
problem. What else might prevent mozilla from connecting to certain sites.

Not that I can help, but you are using XP and a 5-year old version of
Mozilla? I got that from your headers and may have misinterpreted the
vintage of your browser. If the browser *is* 5 years old then . . .
time to upgrade to the latest Seamonkey.
The latest Seamonkey will use your profile (back it up first), comes
with the current security patches and generally behaves just like
Mozilla used to. Without the crashes. Ymmv.
http://www.grandforksherald.com/ does not crash it either.

Unfortunately I also use Mozilla Calendar 2005011112-cal which works as
part of the mozilla suite but doesn't get along with seamonkey.

Lightning as a calendar add-on works in the latest beta versions (beta2)
and the RC build1 of SM2.0

Further searching shows that it may be a problem with Java
and/or the user agent spoofing addon. I have updated Java
without success. All it did was install Java Quick Starter
and Java update scheduler, slowing things down even further.
I appreciate the encouragements to upgrade, but I'm the type
who likes to track down the root cause and not just treat
the symptoms.

So what if the root cause is that you are using an old unmaintained
software full of bugs and security holes?
As long as you don't proof that the current Suite (at least SM1.1.18, or
even better SM2.0 RC if you want to use the Lightning calendar) behaves
the same, the reason seems to be your old Mozi which can have lots of
bugs you don't even know of.
