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...

Nope. Just removed flashblock entirely, same issue. :-( As in, the browser freezes as soon as it sees
Flash content.
Ahhh!!!! So that's it! I had eliminated IPv6 and several other things,
but still the window becomes unresponsive.
I do have the flashblock plugin installed. I never checked to see it it
was still 'active'. I'll have to see if _that_ is the problem -- versus
flash itself.
