Maybe that's why it works. Who knows? ;-) |

Anyway, the 'disable HW acceleration' recommendation didn't work on my |
| 31 |
machine because the crash was in the Mozilla Flash plugin container |
| 32 |
and Flash never came up. It was just a Sad Mac face and a box that |
| 33 |
said Flash crashed so I never had the opportunity to turn it off. Even |
| 34 |
with the recommendations folks here made about turning it off in the |
| 35 |
config file it still never worked for me. I've come to think of this |
| 36 |
as a Firefox crash that only happens when starting Flash, and not |
| 37 |
actually a Flash crash. |
