Yes, I wanted to post a ticket, but I really don't know what or where to get the info!? Haiku simply hangs, and I've got to reboot. I'm running on a usb key, so I don't think any log is saved? Even if there was a log, I wouldn't know where to get it. I'll check for failsafe firefox, and shell? Maybe theres a "verbatile" firefox loading possible in the shell, so I could capture the loading error before hang... Other than that, if you can post a couple of tips to get concrete info other than "Haiku hangs" I will certainly post a ticket. I just don't want to post something useless for you guys, and as you've probably understood, I'm quite new to bug tracking and stuff (especially on haiku).

Does Haiku really hangs or is it just that Firefox is using 100% of the CPU? I ask because I get something like this 100% of the times:

1 - Install Haiku to a fresh partition (including Firefox).
2 - Boot to it.
3 - Start Firefox. Its entry on the Deskbar will appear and disappear but it will still show up in ProcessController and using all the CPU available. 4 - Kill it with PC and start it again. Now it works as expected all the time.

There is something that Firefox is doing on its very first run that gets it into a busy loop.
