  You mean __weak_reference patch to rtld, yes? Do you see "Shockwave Flash 
7.*" plugin installed when selecting "Help -> About Plug-ins" in your 
browser? If so, it just means that this plugin (Shockwave Flash 7) was 
previuosly inactive, and now you're seeing it in action (in this particular 
case, hanging the browser). So just remove linux-flashplugin-* port, and 
you'll get the original behaviour (no hangs, no flash either). If you haven't
this plugin (linux-flashplugin aka Macromedia Flash Player for Linux)
installed, this is completely new problem. I'll try to install
native Firefox from ports this evening and then check whether rtld
patch itself (w/o linux-flashplugin) changes anything.

Sincerely, Dmitry
