We had a similar problem in Gentoo lately where Firefox simply segfaulted on certain webpages. It was tracked down to librsvg and there is a temporary patch for 2.22-2.26: http://mirrors.evolva.ro/gentoo-portage/gnome-base/librsvg/files/librsvg-2.22.3-fix-segfault-with-firefox.patch As I said, I don't know if this relates to FreeBSD in any way but to a layman like myself it seems plausible since it's the same applications involved and I can't see that there is a patch for this in Ports. Some developer probably can make more sense out of this than I but I though it was worth mentioning. Regards Morgan
