I don't believe I forgot to give this most basic diagnosis info. I'm using the pure64 port of unstable running FF 1.0.6. As for other libraries being updated maybe I haven't paid that much attention to what was getting updated. The box is up to date as far as new packages are concerned. Anyway following the great instructions given here is the first part of the stack trace generated when visiting the page given above: #0 0x00002aaaab5b7d25 in raise () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x0000000000cf8954 in nsIDirectoryServiceProvider2::GetIID () #2 <signal handler called> #3 0x00002aaab0dab2bb in NPP_SetWindow () from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/kaffeineplugin.so #4 0x00002aaab0dab799 in Private_SetWindow () from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/kaffeineplugin.so #5 0x000000000062d585 in nsISupportsArray::GetIID () #6 0x00000000006460cf in nsIDirectoryServiceProvider::GetIID () #7 0x000000000063ad1f in nsISupportsArray::GetIID () #8 0x00000000008fd826 in nsIComponentRegistrar::GetIID () #9 0x00000000008fed7c in nsIComponentRegistrar::GetIID () #10 0x00000000008f6d64 in nsIComponentRegistrar::GetIID () ...
