I have installed the following relevant ports: > /usr/ports/www/firefox > /usr/ports/www/flashplugin-firefox > I'm not sure if the following applies to your problem, but you might want to try it anyways. I use Mozilla and it appeared to crash a lot recently. Everytime it crashed, a message like the one you mention was printed to the console. When I started Mozilla from a shell (instead of from the Gnome menu), I noticed that when Mozilla exited, a message like > Fatal error 'Recurse on a private mutex.' at line 988 in file /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_mutex.c (errno = 0) > Abort trap was printed to the terminal. Searching the CVS log for the file revealed that apparently www/linuxpluginwrapper needs to be rebuild. It seems that upgrading that port has fixed my problems. Well, I think this applies only to 5-Stable after Feb 4th, 2005, and since you didn't mention which version you're running I don't know if it applies to your problem. HTH, Phil. --------------enig4BC71CB48CD12A9B13787A75 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCEIHUqLHhR7u0/3URArG5AJ9L9xPCuBI4OUdq95H1rGRK/BpcKACfd/dq bAJ6BWNAHBcMYa2WRBQs1dM= =+Rud -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig4BC71CB48CD12A9B13787A75--
