RE: IE7 crashes when closing tabs

The developers do not have the resources to resolve these issues. The ability
to open tabs but not close them has plagued IE7 from day one.

If you use IEz expect to lose data regularly, through crashes as you have
described, forced refreshes using the 'allow popups' dialogue, and through
'this page can not be displayed' redirections, such as I will surely get when

The problem may be related to your Anti-Virus program, as per your
descriptions, you should be able to duplicate the problem easily. So just
try to disable your Anti-Virus program and test it out first.
