It is only quite a recent thing, firefox used to rock solid, but I cannot say what change caused this as I run ~x86 and frequently `emerge -Du world`. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Most probably it has something to do with Flash, as Firefox hasn't crashed even once since I removed it. Can't say anything about JavaApplets, though. So few websites seem to have them nowadays. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Firefox crashes over Flash
Does anyone else's Firefox crash whenever it hits a page with Flash on it? If I start a new .mozilla folder and always choose to not download Flash, everything is fine. As soon as I download Flash, it starts crashing whenever it sees a Flash file. Flash is working fine here, although I use the flashblock extension to be able to choose what flash content I want to see. How are you installing the flash plugin? I'm using the automatic download and install via Firefox. It used to crash on only some flash, but now it's all. - Grant The site: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Xorg_X11_and_Transparency is your friend. Dave. I think adding this to /usr/bin/firefox has fixed it: export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 Thanks! - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
