** Description changed: - Problem in ubuntu 9.04 (alpha 5) 64 bit version when using Firefox which - often crashes on sites with heavy flash content, the same happens on - ubuntu 8.10. Also sites with such flash content slow right down so much - so that its hard to navigate. Problem seems to be with the flash non - free player as using Opera on Ubuntu 8.10 gives similar results. + Problem in ubuntu 9.04 (alpha 5) 64 bit version when using Firefox + (3.06) which often crashes on sites with heavy flash content, the same + happens on ubuntu 8.10 (32 bit and 64 bit versions). I used the flash + non free player from the ubuntu restricted extras in the repositories. + The problem is bad with sites that have a lot of in-bedded you tube + clips resulting in slow downs making it difficult to navigate and the + clips dont display correctly nor play correctly yet the bb code is + correct. The You tube site clips plays fine. What also happens is once + you try to navigate on such sites firefox grays out and is unresponsive + (crash?). The same problem is replicated using Opera 9.63 on Ubuntu 8.10 + though Opera doesnt grey out. + + Update: I've just tried Ubuntu 8.04 (32 bit version) to try and identify + if it was the flash non free player being the problem or maybe either of + the releases (8.10 and 9.04). I discovered that the above problem wasn't + present in Ubuntu 8.04 using firefox (3.06) using version 10 of the + flash non free player (deb file from the Adobe site), sites rendered + fine and werent slow to navigate. However the problem is replicated on + Ubuntu 8.04 when I use Opera 9.63.
