Marco, I deeply respect your work so I hate to see you losing your nerves over idiotic web-browser. FF is not fixable. FF2 was supposed to fix FF1 but was even worse. FF3 is supposed to fix FF2 but as we all know it didn't. I actually put some thinking into the issue of the web-browser. In mine point of view the only hope for the decent web-browser is Midori based on WebKit. The one in current port tree is almost usable (it is alpha software for now). The another one is Dillo2 but the lack of OpenSSL implementation and lack of Java-Script Engine is killing me. If those guys can finally implement OpenSSL at least instead of coding tabular browsing I will never install any other graphical browser in my life. At some point I was so pissed with upstream FF that I installed Opera but I hate to use Linux compatibility layer.
I noticed your letter about Qemu as well. I have absolutely the same experience like you (core dump) when I tried to run compiler on the virtual disk. I didn't want to react as I could not care less for virtualization and I know that most OpenBSD users do not care either. Since I already wrote about some troubles I experienced with OpenBSD packages on 4.4 release (I run both i386 and amd64) let me finish with ffplay problem. It seems that ffplay has problems with playing too fast on the AC97 chip-set. I think that is well documented so my solution was to install an old Sound Blaster Live sound card to the workstation I was using. I guess it could be useful for people to know about it.
