   There may nor be anything wrong with NS 7.2 itself, but there IS a KNOWN   
   incompatibilty problem with earlier Flash Player Plug-in installer. This   
   comes up guite a bit here, and the biggest complaint is that NS 7.2   
   "hangs up" on certain sites. The solution is to upgrade to Version   
   9.0.45.0 of the installer.   
   I did the upgrade about 2 months ago, with 90% fewer lockups as a result.
