It'll go two seconds without sound and then completely stop with video. The video itself will completely load, but it won't play it. Nothing happens at all with audio files.
The only solution that I've found is to completely restart the browser. It will then work for a few hours, but it always happens again eventually.Okay, I'm getting tired of this. It's already happened at least 6 times today. Does anyone have any clue as to why? Is anyone else even having this problem?
Also, whenever I try to place a new bookmark directly into a folder, either by double-clicking the star in the URL bar or ctrl+d, my StumbleUpon toolbar disappear. It's still on, just not visible. The built in toolbars still work.]]><![CDATA[pocksucket @ 6/17/2008 6:16:36 PM]]>276531«davbob : Got it!!

Firefox does less "out of the box" than Opera does, but there isn't anything that Opera does that you can't get a plug in for Firefox for, and there are a whole lot more plug ins for stuff that Opera can't do.
