Glad you got it working. Maybe the Handbook needs
correcting/expanding.

I don't get the flicker that you speak of but on occasion Firefox can
peg  back a core 100% constantly and I have to restart the browser. I
think this is probably flash related but I haven't investigated it. So
keep an eye on "top" output.

I'd recommend www/xpi-flashblock. You can whitelist sites such as
Youtube and the bbc whilst blocking the crappy flash adverts that are
a feature of too many sites on the web. Especially useful if you're on
a narrowband connection or metered.
