What's version of FreeBSD? I have seen similar report with your in freebsd-gnome@ and only happen in -CURRENT, but when rebuild all apps then the problem is gone. Right now, we have Firefox 3.0.1 in ports tree. BTW: Don't use marcusmerge anymore, unless you want to be a beta test again in MC. ;-) In MC ports-stable, I am working on add USE_WEBPLUGINS and I would say about less than 20 ports left that need to be add. http://www.marcuscom.com:8080/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ports-stable/www/firefox/Makefile.webplugins Cheers, Mezz > Doug -- mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.org
