sigh...

More on 'symptoms' here:
The first time I bring up firefox (after a boot), it comes up as
'quickly' as it ever has.  When opening a flash-y URL and the firefox
window becomes unresponsive,
I can:
	1.  Go off to another desktop and do something else for awhile.
		When I return I _can_ scroll the window and operate all
		the 'controls'.  But, reloading, or clicking off to
		another (flash-y) URL will lock up the window again.
	2.  Repeatedly click on the window CLOSE [X] button until I get
		the "Not Responding" pop-up and terminate it that way.
		The _next_ attempt to bring up firefox takes
		A VERY LOOOONG TIME.

Running it from the CLI gives the error:
/usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container: symbol lookup error:
         /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so: undefined symbol: PR_GetVersion
when clicking to a flash-y URL.

There's nothing in /var/log/messages



Why is there a disproportionate number of hams in the Trinity family?
Attracted by the minimalist design, I should think...
