I don't understand what is so fragile in it, but it happens to be that fragile. Thus I had Javascript-capable browser only on one of three NetBSD installation. Such problems have never occurred to me neither on FreeBSD nor on Linux. Note: problems even with Javascript, let alone Flash.As a counterpoint, I've never had the slightest bit of trouble that I can remember with seamonkey. And it seems to be a lot less crashy on NetBSD than on Linux, too.
And then there's always konqueror - for a long time it was the only modern browser that would run reliably on sparc64. Also, galeon seems to run a lot faster and more stable than firefox. So, all my NetBSD installations that have enough RAM have at least one javascript capable browser. None of them is x86 though.
I've never tried to run flash in it though.
I got gnash to work but didn't play with it a lot. have fun Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iQEVAwUBSY8iLcpnzkX8Yg2nAQLskwf+Mt+WiWAonQ6XpxkBtqS2PWgDd6wxtJiQ VBPZlxIT9D4VSOGfSRAf9PYWzT4ueCL6hYzY1VSwKB4rpiYRyWwiPhsylBAwFHa7 wlT+DOOZ0dA79bRq3R7gsC1w6Y1y9EO4mZqXct5RN0l9eXX6kNcjo7KN7+3WYVdZ a5CAAdeBIMFFVRp+dFGCirmxjd2KfDLYo2h9O4ZPKu8nUUNBqbWLT2I31mkaBezj hqgAeBstw5eJEm/F+beihlKzhZCfn3fEe/4vK1hSrpT8hrsVjB622oe3lShRn/tz nuosWKutwhE4OP4QjrjGYvD3LoRwvPDiDW+p3511BZWO4CLM0X4Jlw== =NUKB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
