    Hopefully this time around proper support for newer GTK is in place, and it won't eat 100% CPU on startup and will actually shut down on my box... Still I think I'll give it a try.

      Hi,
      I have followed your instructions on getting the HTML rendering working but nothing seems to fix it. The file in question already resides in the default directory /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.8.1.4 but adobe does not seem to recognise this. I have even copied to a different directory and adobe accepted that it is there but still refuses to use it on start up. Is there something i have missed?
      Thanks
      Andy

        I am not too sure about your problem, but it could either be a corrupted file, or it could be a problem related to x86_64 architecture. Take this with a grain of salt, but just wanted to help.

          Well, just installed it and runs flawlessly, fast, no excessive CPU usage, no problems when closing the program either. And for a 32-bit program, it works pretty much flawlessly on my 64-bit Fedora 7 installation.
