Join me on PMOG, the Passively Multiplayer Online Game!

Just by surfing the interbutts, you get experience (datapoints).  You can spend these on mines, to attack other surfers; armor, to protect yourself from mines; portals, to send people blindly to sites of your choosing; crates, so you can stash goodies for others to find; and lampposts, so you can make your own missions through the interweb, highlighting your favourite sites, exploring a topic, or whatnot, which other people can take for experience and learning new stuffz.

It's good fun, and you can play it as actively or passively as you like.  Additionally, it's all delightfully steampunk themed, so how can you go wrong?

I'm Mullenkedheim, so feel free to mark me as an acquaintance if you like, once you join. 

NOTE: If you're using Firefox 3 Beta 5, the plugin may be a bit dodgy. It works fine for me in 3b5 under Vista Ultimate, but it doesn't work under 3b5 in XP SP2.  It works perfectly in 2.0.0.14 though, and the 3b5 problems will be cleared up sooner or later, I trust.  Just a heads up, to prevent you from getting too frustrated. :}

NOW JOIN JOIN JOIN.

(note: I tried to post this to the Firefox Forums at Mozillazine, but I had to register, so I registered, and logged in, and then typed this up, and then clicked the post button, and it asked me to login again, and I did, and it told me my account was inactive, and I should bugger off, sooooooo maybe you guys can help me instead.)

Sometimes, I'll just stop being able to browse. My internet is fine, as is evidenced by EVERY OTHER PROGRAM working (IM clients, FTP, etc), but Firefox will just keep loading a page forever.  When I close Firefox (using the red X) and re-open it (using the link in my toolbar), the chrome appears (the outside frame, the menubar, the minimize/maximize/close buttons), but nothing else.  Clicking the X to close it several times pops up a Vista "This program has stopped responding" window. The Mozilla Error Reporting Agent never appears.

After telling Vista to close Firefox, and then trying to open it again, it works fine, and will browse normally.

At first, I thought it was being caused by putting the computer to sleep (as that was the only time it would present); however today it has done it several times without warning, and without being put to sleep.

As I said, this has only been happening since 2.0.0.14.  Additionally, I'm not having this problem on my XP SP2 installation at home, only on my Vista Ultimate laptop.

The add-ons I have installed are as follows:
4chan 0.4.5.9
Adblock Plus 0.7.5.4
Better Flickr 0.2.1
BoxedUp 1.22
Canadian English Dictionary 1.1.0

I'd appreciate any thing suggested.  Thanks :)
