I finally got a chance to try these parameters. Now the Tesla page's flash
module bit works fine and I can load the playhousedisney.com page, but if I try
to click on any of the characters the mozilla window disappears. Mozilla
doesn't core dump as the process is still running in the background, but the
window definitely "dies." Does this happen to you as well?

I have not tried mozilla 0.9.7 yet--which I will soon. But at least increasing
the shared memory certainly helped. Thanks, and happy new year!
