Use portsnap(8) [first time: 'portsnap fetch extract', afterwards 'portsnap fetch update'] to update your ports tree and then portmaster(8) ['portmaster -a -B -d']. If your ports are up-to-date, try rebuilding libX11 and the ports it depends on ['portmaster -f -x libX11'].

When I disable the flash plugin, Firefox works smoothly. I suspect a lot of sites are using a new version of flash, which doesn't go down well with the existing browsers. I run portsnap and portmaster through a daily cron, so the ports directory is always up-to-date. -- Regards Manish Jain invalid.poin...@gmail.com +91-96500-10329 Laast year I kudn't spell Software Engineer.

If it crashes it doesn't take your browser with it. And it is open source. It doesn't work with all flash sites, but e.g. youtube works.
