Because, as I said earlier this thread: I do try it every couple of weeks to see if it works, but the best it gets is two-three web sites and then the seg fault. I realize until I sit down with a stack trace I haven't earned the right to complain, so I haven't yet, figuring it'll be important enough someday to someone clueful enough. Or, Macromedia will some day lighten up and let Mozilla include it as part of the web browser by default. Or something. ...and that I've got nowhere near the chops to do anything useful with a stack trace that I'm sure others do. I thought I'd pipe up in response to Ruben's message to provide a data point. Am I the only one for whom Firefox and www/flashplugin-firefox doesn't work? Brian
