I've tried everything according to the FreeBSD handbook, mailing lists, etc, but still when there is a page with Flash, poor Firefox chokes and dies. One thing interesting I noticed though, which might be a hint, is that if I exit Xfce, logout, login this time as root, fire up Xfce again and then run Firefox, everything works without a hitch, e.g. even flash-based pages don't crash Firefox. Weird. What gives? -- Kiffin Gish Gouda, The Netherlands
