btw here is a panorama from 2009 I recently stitched using hugin:

Comments:
The bit of the picture I saw in QupZilla looked nice, but zooming or
moving around in that browser didn't work.
Tried again in Firefox 25 running the most recent Flash for Linux, and
got a page saying that the Adobe Flash plugin crashed. Reloading the
page as instructed seems to be trying to show the image, but it just
crashed Flash again.
Finally, 360cities.net seems incredibly slow on my little old computer.
I look forward to the demise of Flash, but HTML5 isn't much faster on my
machine. I think I prefer the "old days" of sticking an image in a div
and specifying the appropriate scroll attribute ...
True, Flash can be a real pain and panoramic content is a good way to
test a computer. On older machines it sometimes helps to navigate with
the arrow keys (and ctrl / shift for zooming) instead of dragging the
mouse which is sometimes unresponsive. Did you try that?
Didn't try it. On both browsers, the default part of the picture that is
displayed never completed downloading (was still seeing the blurred
version, although some segments of the image had become sharp and detailed.
I didn't have the chance so far to test QupZilla, as a webkit browser it
may be comparable with Safari. With Safari I see a big difference with
the older version that came with OS X 10.6 and the current one on a 10.8
partition on the same computer.
Not sure which version those might be. It had 1.8.1-4 on it, installed
from Debian Sid. Upgrading to 2.2.1-2 just now, the zooming and moving
around works. Still very slow. All of the default picture view
downloaded. And once I started to zoom in using the keyboard, it didn't
stop until it reached maximum zoom.
The last time my Firefox behaved strange when viewing panoramas I closed
other tabs and also restarted the program. I'm not sure how Flash and
Firefox manage memory consumption these days but that seemed to help.
In both tests, there was only the one tab and each had been started fresh.
When you talk about "the old days" don't forget that content was usually
smaller in overall pixel size. A typical PTViewer window was so much
smaller back then (in 2001):

the JPG is 1400 x 700 pixels, see

What is this PTViewer you refer to? ;-) This old tech way of doing things:

Here is an even older QTVR tour if you have a way to display QuickTime
VR content:
<http://einem.net/showroom/Referenzen/Panorama_QTVR/1996_Marlboro-Reisen_CD-ROM/tour_AntelopeCanyon.mov>
That's a project from way back in 1996 showing the Antelope Canyon
(Arizona).
Hmm, will have to check that out. Don't recall if I have anything here
that can display QuickTime, but it probably do ...
