firefox crashing on unknown files
Firefox is crashing on me whenever I click on a link for a file whose extension is not in the system mime.types file. (It was crashing on every non-html link before I installed the mime-support port.) I am almost positive this is happening because the default plugin is not enabled -- this is what about:plugins says: Default Plugin File name: libnullplugin.so The default plugin handles plugin data for mimetypes and extensions that are not specified and facilitates downloading of new plugins. MIME Type Description SuffixesEnabled * All types .* No How can I enable libnullplugin.so or else prevent this behavior? Stats: FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p7 firefox-1.0.2 thanks, Thomas -- N.J.

But whatever it is if you just delete it firefox will no longer popup on you about a missing plugin(or crash?). This is/was the recomended way of stopping firefox from asking you to get a plugin. So it is safe to delete. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
