15 It was the adobe-flash. I uninstalled it and all was fine. The emerge
16 -pv adobe-flash looks like the following:
17 [ebuild N ] www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.0.22.87 USE="32bit (multilib)".

19 I installed it again and Firefox crashes on certain sites. So now it's
20 uninstalled again. At least Firefox is stable now. Is there a flash
21 that works?
