Hi Micah

This last hour the problem has not been occuring.

Probably started about a week ago. (maybe longer) Symptom was very slow
response times.

Using system monitor I got 2 results.

Initially JAVA was reporting ~75% cpu with the state suggesting it was
waiting some action ( idle ?)

Later Firefox was reporting very high CPU

Closing open windows showed asx.com.au was problem.

I have typed "firefox -ProfileManager" in a terminal window and it
starts OK.

What do I do next? Edit >preferences>applications and disable a few
things ?

Likely this is a problem with the website; Any thoughts welcome
