"Yeah, it's been a while since I've used it on this machine. Maybe it's just slower than I remember. This is a newly created empty profile though, no extensions or anything. What I really wonder about, and have no way of assessing, are all these entries in netstat of the form: TCP 127.0.0.1:49718 [my machine name]:49719 ESTABLISHED 5304 (that last number is a process ID) Are those normal? What does it mean? There are dozens of them." - Nathan Rein
