Strangely enough, under Linux it works just fine and I have pretty much the same version of flash and firefox installed on both systems. It is strange, that exactly same site works fine for me with native ff3 under 8-CURRENT. Hi, I think that a problem in futexes, therefore native ff3 works, as it uses native locking. -- Have fun! chd ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: flash9 checklist
Since I had linux_base-fc4 installed npviewer.bin kept hogging all CPU power until I killed it for native firefox3. Well I installed linux_base-fc7 and now flash9 and npviewer.bin works fine in native firefox3. ok I tried this for the ones that have firefox3 native installed. install linux_base-fc7 and npviewer.bin should stop hogging all the cpu along with firefox3 freezing up until npviewer.bin is killed. I do not use extensions in my firefox3 so the flashblock issue before was not an issue for me. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
