Palemoon 6 hanging & flashing cursor

Unread post by cloggie » 2011-09-07, 19:16

I have been using PM for a while now but a few problems have started appearing over the last few weeks.

Every now and again it freezes. The cursor arrow chages into a hand and nothing can be done for a while. All turns back to normal after about 10 seconds.

The other problem is that on some websites the cursor starts flashing randomly. It seems to start when flash adverts start playing....

Can I do anything to solve these annoying little problems other that change browser?

I've had issues myself with Flash - I reverted to 10.3.181 and switched off the updates to it.
It's a known problem with the latest Flash versions and it's not limited to Pale Moon, either.
I suggest you do the same, and install the 10.3.181 version of Flash.
