Have a look at the archives, I just got a message from eculp@??? that =20
he resinstalled all linux ports from scratch (empty /compat/linux) and =20
the flash9 plugin was loaded by firefox (native and linux one). Flash9 =20
crashes after a while for him. This is a known problem and the cause =20
is somewhere in some kernel part of the linuxulator. Flash 7 works for =20
him without problems.

I still think you should try again with a fresh system. If you don't =20
want to lose your current state, just use a jail or a virtual machine =20
to install the things there. If you still have problems there, just =20
report the error message firefox will spit out when he tries to load =20
the plugin. Please don't copy things around, so that we can analyze =20
the problem.

Bye,
Alexander.
