Flashblock has a whitelist for sites where you must use Flash, and you can click on the flash icon to load an individual flash control when needed. So you can whitelist youtube and for nearly everything else, just load the flash bits when you need it. It even makes MySpace pages load quickly, though it won't improve the standard eye-searing designs. -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Geeks need vacations too. http://engineer.openguides.org/ "Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition." - Timothy Leary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

You don't need to dual boot to get Flash! 64-bit can use flash if you install nspluginwrapper. You'll even see my name on the project page because I contributed a patch to the project :-) I think nspluginwrapper has made it into Ubuntu repos by now... http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/#news -- Kristian Erik Hermansen "Know something about everything and everything about something." -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] Firefox woes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Thanks Erik, That is probably the problem. I use flash and usually have several tabs open when I run 32bit Ubuntu. When I boot into 64bit Debian Etch I have no flash and no problems. Unfortunately I need flash for some things - hence the 32/64bit dual boot.
