Firefox/4.0b11 i was already on 11.4 rc1 from like two days ago, today i did a zypper ref and zypper dup again (i had this syslog-ng bug, it didnt come up due to some missing characters in the syslog conf files or something). anyways, i checkd if i was getting anything new in /var/log/messages, and thats when i found these zillion kernel messagings getting dumped there.... ---------------
