Hi Neil,

I have discovered its any page that has a video playback on it. It loads 
part way, then the whole page sort of goes grey, and hangs. I have to 
force quit then. So since the update, its either flash, or something 
like that isnt working. If you want I can take a video, if it will work 
to show you.
