Yeah, I've tried that and updated to Firefox 2 as well; if I try to have the flashplayer (there isn't a FreeBSD one, I'm attempting to use the Linux one) load it segfaults Firefox immediately. Opera doesn't work either. I think I'm stuck here; this is something that FreeBSD needs to get resolved if its going to be a serious contender in the desktop arena. I've got folks that would love to run this (and some Java apps) but its just not getting it done.......
