Perhaps a combination of Flashblock and Flash content contributes to or causes the problem. What happens if you uninstall Flashblock and install noscript instead? Again, that's what I use and I haven't seen that problem so perhaps that's the reason why. The last Adobe run-away that I had was a rogue acroread process on Centos 5 that ate up everything to a point that you could barely enter a single character on the keyboard any more. When I eventually managed to log into it I killed that process and everything returned to normal. But that was acroread, not Flash. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
