Does anyone remember the Seamonkey or Firefox upgrades or am I the only 
one that does?  I know fixes are done all the time.  I was just *hoping* 
that since this was a huge number change, like Seamonkey going from 
Seamonkey 1 to Seamonkey 2, that there would be some major changes.  
That is why I asked if oldconfig would work.  I have seen a couple times 
when oldconfig wouldn't work even in the 2.* series but if this was some 
new and improved thing that has been worked on for a while, I wasn't 
sure if starting from scratch was recommended or not.  .I know now that 
is is basically nothing new except 2.6.39 with more of the usual fixes.

Here is some funny after thoughts on this tho.  I went to some other 
sites that have videos, other than Youtube.  It is working so far.  I 
have downloaded a few videos and not one crash yet.  Why am I not using 
youtube you wonder, it is text only.  Everything works on all the other 
sites except youtube.  I cleared all the cookies for youtube stuff but 
still no worky.  I have this snipped list of things installed:

root@fireball / # equery list *plugin* seamonkey *flash*

Am I missing something?  It works in Konqueror tho.  I haven't got up 
the nerve yet to open Firefox and see if it works or still causes a crash.

Weird stuff going on here.
