Sorry, snv_103 (SPARC) and snv_111b (x86). Removing the flash plugin
does seem to fix all the problems. How does one go about reporting
bugs triggered by a plugin?

This is complicated a bit because Firefox is actually running on SUN4u,
but the WM is running on various X86s (OpenSolaris and RH-FC10) using
the x86 hardware as X-terminals. However I don't think it is the same
problem because removing the plugin seems to prevent the crashes and
spurious terminal messages. This is a very old (and forgotten) problem
with Adobe Flash on SPARC.

See above. Firefox itself is running on Nevada - snv103 (SPARC). Going to
go soon for snv121 based on Martin's rave review (see x-window  discuss).
