Is this address (gnome@FreeBSD.org) the proper place to send bug/problem reports regarding Firefox? If not, could you please direct me to the Right Place to do this? Problem(s) summary: I've just upgraded my main work/desktop system from (ancient) FreeBSD 4.11 to 6.2-RELEASE, and thus, switched from some ancient rev of Mozilla to Firefox, and I'm having some really serious problems with it. In particular, it locks up (and pegs CPU usage to 100%) each time I either (a) try to download a file, to disk, from any web site or (b) try to switch back and forth a few times between the cute icons at the top of the little pop-up window that comes up when one tries to adjust "Preferences". (Also, with Mozilla, I found that I could use Cntl-K to delete the part of any text line to the right of the current cursor position, i.e. within any text entry area on any wab page. But now that seems to no longer work. Is that a X11 issue? Or is it a Fixefox issue?) Last question: Is Firefox being built ``native'' for FreeBSD? Or is it being built for Linux and then run under the compatability mode? If the former, then where may I download the latest and greatest FreeBSD-compatible FireFox sources? (The problems above are sufficiently annoying to me that I might actually take a whack and building and debugging Fixefox myself.) Regards, rfg
