I'm on a 64-bit machine. These web sites all require flash and Java. For the most part I still feel like flash and Java just don't work correctly on 64-bit, and maybe not even on 32-bit. Anyway, there is no debug flag on filefox-bin which I think is 32-bit and is crashing. I'm willing to rebuild if necessary but I think I want to try and get some more info first. Thanks!
