now, on my amd64 firefox-2.0.0.6 (not bin) the pages work fine, no crashes. in the source of the page that crashes i cannot see anything that could break the program. the site needs to have enabled javascript, and maybe java, but that's a little difficult to install. i have installed the emul-linux-x86-java package with x nsplugin and als flags enabled, then installed the flashplayer and the nspluginwrapper ad indicated here http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AMD64#nspluginwrapper and that worked for me. don't count the part on java in the link indicated but only the part of nspluginwrapper. mine firefox flags are if you need them: Use flags: (-bindist) (-debug) (filepicker) (-gnome) (ipv6) (java) (-linguas_af) (-linguas_ar) (-linguas_be) (-linguas_bg) (-linguas_ca) (-linguas_cs) (-linguas_da) (-linguas_de) (-linguas_el) (linguas_en_GB) (-linguas_es) (-linguas_es_AR) (-linguas_es_ES) (-linguas_eu) (-linguas_fi) (-linguas_fr) (-linguas_fy) (-linguas_fy_NL) (-linguas_ga) (-linguas_ga_IE) (-linguas_gu) (-linguas_gu_IN) (-linguas_he) (-linguas_hu) (linguas_it) (-linguas_ja) (-linguas_ka) (-linguas_ko) (-linguas_ku) (-linguas_lt) (-linguas_mk) (-linguas_mn) (-linguas_nb) (-linguas_nb_NO) (-linguas_nl) (-linguas_nn) (-linguas_nn_NO) (-linguas_pa) (-linguas_pa_IN) (-linguas_pl) (-linguas_pt) (-linguas_pt_BR) (-linguas_pt_PT) (-linguas_ro) (-linguas_ru) (-linguas_sk) (-linguas_sl) (-linguas_sv) (-linguas_sv_SE) (-linguas_tr) (-linguas_zh) (-linguas_zh_CN) (-linguas_zh_TW) (-mozdevelop) (-moznopango) (-restrict-javascript) (xforms) (xinerama) (xprint) again, use the stable version which is the 2.0.0.6. by the way, the same problem on windows suggests me that you have some settings problem inside firefox. try setting the enable javascript and only the change status bar and disable or replace scripts. maybe you have enabled some other type of scripts that make firefox crash. 2007/10/2, Mark Knecht : > > On 10/2/07, Rodolphe Rocca wrote: > > Mark Knecht wrote: > > > Hi, > > > On a subscriber web site I am seeing a consistent problem with both > > > Firefox & Firefox-bin.
