  I'm not seeing any core dumping problems at all, but was last week 
till I fixed it. Current CVS should work fine. The previous core dump 
was because one of the argv[] strings was put together wrong in one spot...

  Usually the only file that can effect Firefox this way is plugin.cpp. 
This doesn't do much now as it just fires off the standalone player with 
the proper command line arguments. There are more than a few debug 
messages in the plugin, all commented out from my own debugging. So in a 
pinch, you could try uncommenting a bunch of those, and they'll go in 
the gnash-dbg.log file. Maybe more detail would help show what's up.

  To really see why Firefox is dying, you need a debug build of Firefox 
from source. Then you'll get all the messages. Lacking that, you might 
try running Firefox under strace.
