Just a follow up. I was experiencing the problem with xorg 7.0. I tried lots of permutations, firefox source build, firefox-bin, rebuilding java 1.4/1.5 with/without nsplugin. No joy. But the problem went away after recently upgrading to the new java system. Basically running sun-jdk-1.4 for system, and 1.5 for user. So my guess is it was some java mis-match.

I have set -X globally, to not build X support to things that don't exclusively need it. In this case, things were working so far. I guess some upgrade broke it (perhaps xorg-x11). Which xorg version? That's xorg-x11-7.1. When I'm back at work, I'll try changing the sun jre to the blackdown jre and see if things are still broken. -- Bruno Lustosa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.lustosa.net/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Are you faking another user agent (like IE) with a line in user.js?
