Nope.
Still hanging....iceweasel hangs a long time just trying to grab pages,
and I can't even go to another tab or something.
The whole browser just locks up, for as much as a minute or two,
when trying to load a page.
It's become almost useless.
I mean, what's the point in tabbed browsing if you can't read one tab
while waiting for another to load?
