Fails means I get a blank space where the shimmering U is supposed to be 
and it asks if I want to download shockwave.  I say yes, nothing happens.  
I do have the flashplayer plugins in my /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird directory 
but no workee!

Maybe it's because I did not use the binary but merged it from source.  I 
may merge that one.

I'm trying to get MozFirebird to run on the new Gentoo box.  At this point 
I'm not touching my Caldera box - that is I'm not adding anything to it.  I 
use it for mail, news, etc. while I get my Gentoo box running.  Once Gentoo 
is up and running on a new box I'll shutdown the Caldera system.  I don't 
want to mess with it now.
