The only thing I hate more than complaining about something I can't spend the time to try to fix is spending time writing to justify my laziness. :) I did try to get a stace trace before, rebuilding all of firefox with debugging, and got a trace that indicated the problem was elsewhere with other libraries I'd have to also go off and rebuild with debugging, and so that cute flash animation my friends said I had to go see suddenly seemed that much less interesting to me, and I didn't look back. This was also on RELENG_4, and the issue appeared to be threading-related, and since everyone was saying that threading in 4 was broken anyways and would be fixed in 5, I punted; I just haven't had time since upgrading to 5 a few weeks ago to look at it again. > Most folks I know use the linuxpluginwrapper so we don't have > any experience with the native flash player.

So I don't support it. Please don't send me a report about firefox. Of course, I always welcome to recieve fixed problems report. That's kept me away from trying it. Brian
