LL 4.8 Freezing on Language Installation - Sauri Extras - 10-21-2020
I've gotten myself a new PNY SSD, so I decided to install a fresh LL 4.8 from scratch.
Installing was easy peasy and made me feel happy how fast the ssd experience for the first time.
The problem occurs after a clean fresh install, when I try to install other language (in this case Japanese) it freezes midway. I can move my mouse cursor but can't click on anything, also everything's froze aside from my ability to move the mouse cursor.
Is this normal and I just have to wait it out? It's been near an hour since I've posted this thread that I'm in this predicament.
My apologies for something that is probably easy to solve.

I actually found out why this happens.
Whenever I try to install a new language, firefox open with the help page and basically the one causes the freeze.
I basically just close firefox immediately when it tries to open the help page and boom, language installation doesn't freeze midway now.

Thanks for posting this! Firefox "tries to be helpful" but gets in the way. It reminds me of the old Windows Paperclip: "How can I annoy you today?"
