Just an FYI for anyone whose experiencing page freezes when loading images and has Screenshot Pimp installed.

OK... to start im using w2k pro... believe it or not!! Never liked XP much and vista...FORGET IT! Now testing the w8 developers preview. SOOOO...this problem MAY only affect W2000 which is why I bring up the OS. If you're using an OS newer than 11 years...u not experience this...  ;-)  !!

Recently experiencing slowdowns with images loading. Specifically GOOG or BING "images". While trying to use the scroll bar pulldown in windows ...so many photos will load...then the scroller just stops...and the page is frozen till more photos load. The entire browser freezes up. I just figured it was my OS build getting old (no viruses or spyware present).

I disabled all my addons in FFOX and re-enabled them one at a time. Screenshot pimp 6 was the problem.

Ive switched to PIXLR Grabber 2.1 and it works without issue. Only thing about PXLR ...I cant say I like the addtl entry in my right click bcus Ive accidentally gone for the GRAB instead of COPY since it appears at the top of my right click menu when I try to copy text. ALSO PIXLR asks every time where u want to save the image and once that was set using screenshot pimp...u didnt have to tell it every time. But... at least PIXLR works without freezing the browser.

YMMV

Happy thanksgiving to all! - Dave

TYPO....was trying to say you MAY or MAY NOT experience the problem if your OS is newer than 11 years. WHERES THE EDIT BUTTON PPL?!!!

Also... forgot to add... I was having the page freeze issues in FFOX 6 7 and 8. I finally decided to track it down and found it was screenshot pimp...just to clarify.
