It doesn't work with Firefox and See bug reports: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610610 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3105876&group_id=110956&atid=657852 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/607211 http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=15446 http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=108468 http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=18985 Basically this port is 5 years old and it's too old and it's not supported anymore. The name is confusing, because it looks like it's the most appropriate package for flash plugin. " Date: 2010-11-09 12:04:48 GMT Sender: tgc GPLFlash isn't maintained anymore. Instead try gnash or lightspark " >How-To-Repeat: > gdb epiphany SetWindow The program 'epiphany' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 27 error_code 3 request_code 3 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
