Hi!
I tried previous beta build the and I migrated now to 3.5.1 (with multimedia support).
Now, each time a web page has flash elements, firefox stops and I didn't get any information into popup log. !
while other programs do. No problem under firefox 2.x but 3.5 has a much better font rendering.
What's wrong ? did you experience the same issue ?
Thanks
Remy

Hi Remy

Start firefox from the command line, in the directory containing firefox, and direct errors to a log file eg:

firefox.exe > firefox.log 2>&1


That may give a clue as to what is going wrong.


There seem to be a couple of firefox 3.5.1 builds available and it could be a case of the build you are using is built with gcc 4.4.0. If that is correct I have seen a suggestion to backlevel the file ipluginw.dll to an earlier, gcc3.3.5, build. Ah, found the post in the mozilla ng:-

"Please, remove firefox/components/compreg.dat before starting firefox
again after copying over ipluginw.dll from the no-media-ff3.5.1-
gcc-3.3.5 or the official 3.0.x builds."


Hope that helps

Hi!

This was the tric.
(yes, it is gcc44 build and I did your suggestion replacing the ipluginw.dll  and it looks to be ok)
Thanks
