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.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/f/4088/1/rss2_0.rss#q51http://www.plime.com/plime-com/f/4088/1/rss2_0.rss#q51plime.com <![CDATA[pocksucket @ 6/17/2008 6:16:36 PM]]>« davbob : Got it!!
And nothing works
Flash needs updating, Photobucket won't work, youtube won't work (probs because of flash) None of my favourites or bookmarks migrated.

Anyways, what's the difference anyway?It's apparently had 5000 changes from the previous version, biggest being a new rendering engine. In theory, that should make it a lot faster (and that's certainly been my experience with the various betas).

I've just installed it now and found no problems with Flash/YouTube or Photobucket. Weirdly I was having troubles with the latter before, but that seems to have fixed.

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.

Nothing to lose by trying, anyway.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/f/4088/1/rss2_0.rss#q40http://www.plime.com/plime-com/f/4088/1/rss2_0.rss#q40plime.com <![CDATA[pocksucket @ 6/17/2008 8:18:50 AM]]>

Further to what Davbob says above, I think the package for advanced controls is compizconfig-settings-manager.

I'm guessing that if you're setting up virtual machines then installing stuff through Aptitude isn't an issue, but if you want more guidance let me know.Thanks. I will.

Seriously though, what browsers got a better logo than this ;)
