If you have your running FreeBSD 10 and feeling a little adventurous (i.e. using brand new features in 10 and ports that are not even yet committed to the port tree officially) then you might want to create a VM (virtual machine) on which to run the browser on and then use xhost on the host machine and you use the DISPLAY variable on the instance to make sure any weird things that it might do are done to a toss away VM.... unless your a devote of -virtualization@ you're likely better off using a front-end such as petitecloud or vmrun.sh (the second is for experts though). For more details see the proposed Handbook revisions on virtualization at http://www.petitecloud.org/handbook.jsp... an other approach but a little complex to set up and manage is run it as a jail -- Aryeh M.
