mozilla javascript segment exception

[Anne & Lynn Wheeler]

turns out that turning off javascript was preventing flashplayer from being invoked.

libflashplayer is (from adobe) libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

2009-02-02 23:03 libflashplayer.so

which had been (also) working fine under F10.
