Now visit a webpage such as www.cartoonnetwork.com - after a second or so as the page loads, it will attempt to switch to the flash version of the page, at which point Netscape will immediately exit with no error/crash dialogue. >Fix: Don't install the FreeBSD flashplugin, or use the Linux version of Netscape, and the linux version of the plugin. This combination does not crash. Attempting to use the Linux version of the flashplugin with FreeBSD netscape of course produces an error. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
