Hi all, We've gone with Opera rather than firefox in an effort to overcome crashing and freezing for folks who use Flash/PulseAudio/libflashsupport
I am starting to _really_ like Opera because it allows me to set global settings for all users in ways that are only possible with Pessulus under firefox. It seems like a much more elegant/granular way to do things. In case anyone else is doing this I thought I share a few things that made our transition to Opera easier. 1. Force Opera for users: I made Opera open automagically whenever someone clicks on the Firefox icon or types firefox from a cli. I did this by going to /usr/lib/firefox/ and making firefox-bin a symlink to /usr/bin/opera first i moved firefox-bin to firefox-bin.bak then did: rm firefox-bin ln -s /usr/bin/opera firefox-bin 2. By default Opera wants users to use A4 paper instead of Letter which causes us printing problems, so I added the proper papersize, plus some defaults for homepage and startup into the file /etc/opera6rc.fixed like this: ; Put any settings here that are not overridable by users [User Prefs] Home URL=http://google.com Startup Type=2 [Printer] # U.S. Letter size PageSize=2 here's a great link to learn more about Opera: http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/sysadmin/ I hope this is useful to somebody.
