I tried FF 3.0 some time ago and found that when Desktop manager
is active, the program will hang after formating the first disk :
The program will ask you back for the newly formated disk and then
you won't be able to get it out of the disk drive again with the eject
buttom..........Fortunately "command-shift-1" works!

Anyone can verify this?

P.S. FF 2.22 seems more stable.....
