Mozilla Freezing

Is there a possibility that you built 1.0 with gtk1 and later versions 
with gtk2?



Hmmm...one common element of each release for FreeBSD after 1.0  (1.02?) 
is that they use anti-aliasing for font rendering. Although I doubt this 
has anything to do with it :)

Try reinstalling and building from ports with:

# make WITHOUT_XFT=yes
(This Disables Xft anti-aliasing support.)

Or if you want to use the Calendar:
# make WITHOUT_XFT=yes WITH_CALENDAR=yes

See the Makefile for more compile time options.
