We will definitely need to talk to the Mozilla guys about that. The IPC code is just not working on FreeBSD in it's current state and beat@ created some patch in the firefox 3.6.x days that is not stable but hopefully a good starting point. I don't know about the state of that on Mac OSX and also don't know if they have updated the IPC code because it was already very old when they introduced it. So for now we need to keep --disable-ipc but it's on our todo list to fix that issue since they introduced that feature. Help on this issue is very welcome. If you don't know what we are talking about: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/lorentz/ "Keep Plugin Crashes Under Control Firefox "Lorentz" provides uninterrupted browsing for Windows and Linux users when there is a crash in the Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins. If a plugin crashes or freezes, it will not affect the rest of Firefox. You will be able to reload the page to restart the plugin and try again. Firefox Lorentz will become part of a future release of Firefox 3.6." -- Bernhard Froehlich http://www.bluelife.at/
