14 I tried by moving the old .mozilla directory to .mozilla.old and started
15 Firefox on the command line and the results were the same. When I went
16 to ebay it crashed and the only output was: "Illegal instruction".
17
18 Then I uninstalled nspluginwrapper:
19 # emerge -Cp nspluginwrapper
20
21 Firefox crashed after going to ebay.
22
23 Then I installed nspluginwrapper:
24 # emerge nspluginwrapper
25
26 Firefox still crashed after going to ebay.
27
28 What else?

30 Thanks all
