Dear Mr. Villvicencio
You are most welcome. Though the incidence of Firefox "crashing" has diminished, it still happens. I am not sure if it is the embedded video or a script on the web page I happen to be viewing that is causing the the crash. So far, as in my previous post, when I do switch to WinXP thourgh VirtualBox, I do not experience the "freezing" or "crashing" of Firefox, viewing the same web pages. As for reproducing the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04, I am sorry to say that I am quite pleased at the moment using my Hardy Heron, with its collected updates and the minor tweaks I did. I have downloaded an iso of 8.10. I intend to give it a try, using a Live CD of this version on my laptops. I prefer to wait for the next long-term-support, than to try out the newer version on our computers in our newer school comptuer lab. I will have to wait for the school summer break to give Intrepid my time. Hopefully by that time, the minor quirks I have been reading form the forums would have been ironed out :-) Best regards, Mon Sagullo On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 3:52 AM, Pedro Villavicencio <[email protected]>wrote: > Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make > Ubuntu better.
