Right now, just look over my info, see if you see anything insane there
and if not, recommend something I can use besides flash. Maybe some
third party thing that works reasonably well. If youtube works, I
should be good to go since the sites I go to are using the same thing,
some even source youtube.
I'd also try other video drivers, like nouveau or nv. I think you did not do
this yet, sorry if I just overlooked it. They may not work as well as the
nvidia-drivers for you, but this way you can rule out the video drivers, or
confirm it has something to do with them. I still suspect they are the
cause, and there is an obscure bug that only Firefox triggers.
Oh, and have you tried firefox-bin already?

I have not been able to get the nv drivers to work. It has been so long
since I had to use them, it appears I have forgot how to use them. I'm
not sure I have ever used them since I been using Gentoo. I found the
link on the xorg site. It wasn't very useful for me. I do have
xf86-video-nv installed tho. I thought that was it. However, when I
change the driver in xorg.conf to nv, no more GUI. That always worked
in the past. Can you give me a light bulb moment here? ;-) I may be
missing something obvious.
As for Firefox-bin, I'm not sure that would help Seamonkey. I could try
it but not sure how that would help. Seamonkey would still crash. Now
that I have the same tool I was using in Firefox, I'll most likely get
rid of Firefox. The download helper was the only reason I was using
Firefox.
Thanks.
