Cheers, I've found 3.6.8 to be rather too unstable for comfort so hopefully this will improve things.

Didn't have any issues with 3.6.8 on the Mac, but that's not to say there were not of course, then again we have not got your fangled plug in crash protector yet, that comes with version 4.

I've not had any issues with 3.6.8 either, sure it wasn't aa addon causing the instability?

It listed stability issues fixed from 3.6.8 I think Glenn, so maybe some people were having issues, could have been a addon I guess, or silverlight or flash, there as so many extras now its hard to pin things down.

Not with a nail gun it isn't...

It's not impossible although doubt it because I used the same addons in the previous version which were all updated for the current version. The main instability issue comes when running multiple browser sessions (as opposed to multiple tabs). It'll usually crash because of an embedded process in one of the sessions e.g. watching a movie on Skyplayer while browsing these forums can cause this.

It was Lars von Trier's 'Antichrist' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0870984/

Rather unusually I'm totally undecided about how good it actually was. It certainly has one of the best and most memorable opening scenes I've ever seen in a film.

Have you recovered from it, Zap?

I watched that, I thought it was intriguing and quite enjoyed it, the idea that nature and woman are demonic was interesting and the thesis she was doing on Genocide was that of women with men being the perpetrator .
