Re: a browser for debian that will play pandora.com?
I was hoping to enjoy some new music when I read the first couple of mails. However all I got from pandora was: Dear Sir Mister Most Important Person U From Brazil?

Firefox works fine for me. Though I'm guessing it's a script or flash issue vs a browser one. Either way, I generally don't run Pandora through the browser and instead use pianobar. A few notes: it uses libao so you might need to tell it about your sound library. It might be a debian package but due to Pandora breaking it every once in a while, you might want to get the github version so you can fix it quicker (though this hasn't happened in a while so maybe the package is good enough for you). Pianobar allows you to get around their time limit but the service is $36/year - pay them.

It also works fine for me with google-chrome, I'm running sid. The
