Ah, did Firefox just freeze, or did it crash, causing the window to disappear? On my Linux system, Firefox will sometimes freeze if I try to play a Flash-based video, and at first, I thought it just crashed and would have to grovel through the process list and kill -9 the dozen or so Firefox processes, but soon came to realize it was just waiting for some lock or something and would eventually play. > This may be a software-packager rather than direct software hate though. I don't know ... isn't that still a software-hate? -spc (Or maybe it's just a Linux hate?)
