Hi All, I am the Freebsd+Xfce4 user from Turkey. Recently (on 26th of Feb 2005), I've CVSUP my system using stable-suppfile and ports-suppfile. And un expectedly my system became 5.4 Prelease. I've installed firefox 1.0 and mozilla 1.7, and also flashplugin for them from the ports directory. Nowavadays whenever I want to surf on websites which contains flash things my firefox or mozilla shuts itself. Did you ever encounter this problem. And if you'd how did you eliminate ??? Thanks in advance. Ege Mukan egemukan@gmail.com

Am I the only one for whom >Firefox and www/flashplugin-firefox doesn't work?Brian, I tried the native flash player for firefox back in November of 2004 and I encountered the same problem you describe. My solution was to use the linuxpluginwrapper then I had to copy out /usr/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/libmap.conf to /etc/libmap.conf and now I have firefox with flash support. Also, I have native java working in it as well. Michael Metzger MarketVision Research Research Associate - Information Services P: (513) 985-6537 F: (513) 794-3500
