What distribution? From what packages? Sorry - thought it was clear from my signature - Mandriva 2008.1 - official RPMs.

In any case, it seems that FLASH was the problem since the browser has now been running for about 52 hours with no problems. There are 2 strange things that I'll have to look into. 1 - when I dis-abled FLASH, I discovered that both 9 and 10 were installed (don't ask how - I have no idea). Tomorrow I'll try re-enabling only one of them and see what happens. 2 - even though I'm now pretty sure that FLASH was the problem, I'm not clear on why, because I have the Flashblock extension installed and usually allow flash only when it's really needed - for instance on Youtube. -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by KMail 1.9.9 (KDE 3.5.9) on LINUX Mandriva 2008.1 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
