[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1041631, member: 8287"] I agree with Nethfel's and also a lot of Chef_eam's advice. How long did it sit at the blue screen when restarting? 1 Minute? 5 Minutes? With a lot of major updates it can take a bit to shut down. You should have not pressed power unless it was like 1 hour or something. I also agree it's not good to keep a modern notebook on a bed with bedding for very long. Bottom heats up a lot. On Firefox do not worry about it. I feel Mozilla is reporting the size wrong. Also remember the way OSX 10.6 shows filesizes compared to 10.5 and before and Windows is very different. Look up Base-10 and Base-2. I also agree with Chef_eam, erase the drive and reinstall again and this time after the install and it's running, repair permissions with Disk Utility. Then let the updates install and do NOT shut it down. Report back and let us know how it goes. You are being way to paranoid. Not trying to hurt or bash you, but calm down. Edit: I just downloaded the latest Firefox. Same file sizes you got. iMac G5 iSight with 10.5.8. It's Mozilla reporting the filesize incorrectly. Only difference is file on HDD matches what Safari said. That is because 10.5 is reporting file sizes different than 10.6 like I said above. [/QUOTE]
