Anyone else seeing this? Firefox seems to crash when visiting certain sites. I haven't been able to pin down the cause, but I'm not sure who to tell, the PBI creator, FreeBSD or Mozilla?

look in your ~/.mozilla/plugins directory and see if you have any flashplayer files...if so, delete them and restart FF

I don't even have that folder. My install is a new 1,0 installation upgraded to 1,1.(I forgot I didn't have 1,1 burned yet)

Comcast.net crashes firefox and konqueror. This may be a flash thing I don't know, but Opera works.

Comcast.net

It has flash content so that's the most probable cause... :(

Anyway, does anyone know when will Firefox for FreeBSD support flash?

Why would flash content cause both Konqueror and Firefox to crash but not opera? I have only the Konqueror flash PBI installed. It really stinks because opera won't print either.

Well I guess the temporary fix is the flashblock extension. Now firefox is crash-free.

thats a good idea.

I've comptemplated using an item in ports that just soaks up flashplayer plugin needed bugger pops. Till they give us native binaries - but I never use flash that much.
