Hope that's fixed it Stan

Just found out that there's a US English and UK English version
of Firefox 28 and I've installed the US one It may only
be a different spellchecker so I might leave it, because it's
working OK.

Had a lot of trouble yesterday with EaseUS Free Partion app
It installed about 5 services running in the background and
using up about 50% of the CPU so it's now been removed.
Still got the excellent MiniTool Partition Wizard on this PC.

That's impressive! ..... Wide open as well
I don't think they need to bring out a 400mm f/5.6

Never heard of that Stan. Firefox will usually open another
instance if one is already running. Something must have been
set to only allow one instance, but there isn't an option
in the menu. Could be in about:config

It could be the download manager that's running?

The Firefox forum is full of complaints about v29

I've gone back to v28 and disabled updates

The webs littered with people complaining and Classic Theme Restorer
has had about 100,000 downloads in the last 24 hours

This is just one of many threads......

Argh!!! They've just revamped Firefox now v29.0.1 and I can't
find my way around The NoScript Icon which is needed for every
new site has disappeared and the Tabs are now above all the other
toolbars instead of below them...... Wish I could go back to
v1.5 with the excellent Faster Fox

Fraid you have to be giving away a free grip to be noticed round here!

I really like the old vans and tractors especially the Ray Herritts one...
Who would have thought of using red and brown for the colour scheme

The Sigma 150-500mm certainly isn't soft at 500mm.......
This is at 500mm f/8 ....... f/11 is even sharper.
I often use it with a 1.7TC = 850mm and it's still sharp...

This member produces some of the best bird photos I've
ever seen with a Sigma 170-500mm mostly at
500mm wide open. Some at 1600ISO on a K-7 and
cropped.

Just goes to show that a lot of technique involved.
The camera and lens won't take the shot themselves and
lenses are for using not fondling If you can't
drink a cup of tea without spilling it down yourself
your never going to hold a 500mm lens steady

I had to press the stop loading button in Firefox as well

Edit: Just right clicked and loaded the 1st one it's
5.62 mb and probably full size.... 73mb if they are
all that size
