** Description changed: Problem in ubuntu 9.04 (alpha 5) 64 bit version when using Firefox (3.06) which often crashes on sites with heavy flash content, the same happens on ubuntu 8.10 (32 bit and 64 bit versions). I used the flash non free player from the ubuntu restricted extras in the repositories. The problem is bad with sites that have a lot of in-bedded you tube clips resulting in slow downs making it difficult to navigate and the clips dont display correctly nor play correctly yet the bb code is correct. The You tube site clips plays fine. What also happens is once you try to navigate on such sites firefox grays out and is unresponsive (crash?). The same problem is replicated using Opera 9.63 on Ubuntu 8.10 though Opera doesnt grey out. Update: I've just tried Ubuntu 8.04 (32 bit version) to try and identify if it was the flash non free player being the problem or maybe either of the releases (8.10 and 9.04). I discovered that the above problem wasn't present in Ubuntu 8.04 using firefox (3.06) using version 10 of the flash non free player (deb file from the Adobe site), sites rendered fine and werent slow to navigate. However the problem is replicated on Ubuntu 8.04 when I use Opera 9.63. + + Another update: Just tried Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit version along with Abobes + public pre-release of their 64 bit version of non free flash player and + with using Firefox 3.06 I experienced none of the above problems at all, + everything was nice and smooth, however the problems still remain when I + used the Opera browser (9.64).
