It runs then for some unknown reason it would "lock up and freeze". I spent months working on it and finally was convinced that I must have had an issue with my Tablet. Long story short, there was another major issue with my hard drive (overheating) so eventually I replaced my LS800 with a new one using an SSD drive. I loaded just Office 2007, IE Live and my anti-virus and low and behold the issue came back. So on that device I ended up using FireFox 2 and although it had very limited functionality, I could do the web work I needed. So Yesterday I decided to try FireFox3 ... and WOW, what a difference. Very smooth, has a lot of functionality and I can use all the functions of the tablet while on the web .... I was not able to with FireFox2. I have not started to add the plug-ins that are available yet but there are a slew of common (and much needed) plug-ins so we will see how well it performs over the long term but for now, I am really pleased with it.

Firefox has never been as stable and heavy-weight like internet explorer. It always felt like a light balloon with a rock tied to it (large memory footprint). It is getting slower and slower.
