(It was crashing on every non-html link before I installed the mime-support port.) I am almost positive this is happening because the default plugin is not enabled -- this is what about:plugins says: Default Plugin File name: libnullplugin.so The default plugin handles plugin data for mimetypes and extensions that are not specified and facilitates downloading of new plugins. MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled * All types .* No How can I enable libnullplugin.so or else prevent this behavior? Stats: FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p7 firefox-1.0.2 thanks, Thomas -- N.J.
