Err... No - a different libcx.

I spotted Ians reference to a test libcx on os2world and have given that 
a try.

No longer crashes at javascript enabled sites.

Video playback capability is practically zero, the odd vid at youtube 
plays but most display "An error occurred.Please try again later. 
(Playback ID:... )"

Whether attempting to play video or browsing a fairly simple website 
seems to involve a lot of peaking cpus - even typing this message 
involves lots of cpu peaks.


Changed nspr4 and libcx to the versions you put on bitbucket. No change 
in video playback or the above behaviour.


I should also add Thank You for the time and effort you put into 
building Seamonkey and other bits'n'bobs.
