21 Thanks Paul, I am on amd64 and I think this means no more firefox-bin
22 which is great. I'm getting this after upgrading netscape-flash and
23 visiting youtube.com with firefox (no -bin):
24
25 LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
26 /home/marant/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
27 [/home/marant/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot make segment
28 writable for relocation: Permission denied]

30 Do I need to re-emerge firefox or could this have to do with my
31 hardened kernel settings?
