However, it is claimed in Mozilla's bug reporting system that FreeBSD 5.x doesn't have support for this. See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D70213#c36 A quick grep -r in /usr/src shows only hits in contrib, so it's probably true that it's not implemented. Any status? --Stijn --=20 The right half of the brain controls the left half of the body.
