In messing around trying to work out why things were fine with MCP2 but 
broken in eCS 1.1 & eCS 1.2 and trying to work out what is different, I 
commented out the usbuhcd.sys entries in config.sys and voila - all 
weird Mozilla problems went away.

Similarly, adding usbuhcd.sys to MCP2 made MCP2 behave in the same way 
as eCS.

I've tried a few different versions on usbuhcd.sys and all do the same 
thing - I can probably live with this as the only USB device I use on 
the laptop is my card reader which is USB 2.0

Cheers,

Paul.
