Do you have the __weak_reference() patch handy? I know that this patch, by itself, does not break anything in the base system. It gives the possibility to use native Mozilla-based browsers with linux-flashplugin7. It eases the task of integrating them. But not always adding a feature leads to the desired results. Flash7 DOES hang a lot when used with native Mozilla. Denying this isn't the right thing to do, it will hit lots of users. There are not as many reports as someone would expect because the patch is not applied (yet) mainstream. Usually, if you offer a feature in a software product, users tend to use it. In this specific case I'd go for the solution of a separate library used with LD_PRELOAD by Mozilla proposed by Marcus Alves Grando. In the end, it's a matter of decision. -- Adi Pircalabu (PGP Key ID 0x04329F5E) -- This message was scanned for spam and viruses by BitDefender.
