+> Hi,
+>
+> Just in case others are experiencing this, I've noticed recently that
+> since Cauldron went to Firefox 13 I've seen frequent crashes, most often
+> when interacting with Flash.
+>
+> After getting annoyed enough about it today, I did some digging, got a
+> (rubbish but mildly usable) backtrace and managed to do some educated
+> Googling.
+>
+> I ended up finding this:
+> https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=759123
+>
+> The suggested solution of installing lib64proxy-webkit and removing
+> lib64proxy-mozjs did the trick. Firefox has been much more stable.
+>
+> Just thought I'd share this with others should they also be suffering
+> the same problem.
+>
+> Depending on how widespread the problem is, we should maybe consider
+> adding conflicts to firefox package on lib*proxy-mozjs.
+>
+> All the best
+>
