+Firefox 3.5 and HTML5
+
+Certain functions used to display HTML5 elements need the "sem"
+module.
+
+If your firefox crashes with the following message while viewing a
+HTML5 page:
+"Bad system call (core dumped)"
+
+you need to load the "sem" module (kldload sem).
+
+To load sem on every boot put the following into your loader.conf:
