Dear All, Thanks for all your suggestions. I downloaded the tar.bz, unpacked, and launched 'firefox'. It works smoothly, it updated some of my plug-ins, though in one experience flash did seem to be a problem, behaving strangely with a video-clip, so +1 to stevejobs for giving adobe a kick on its butt, and +1 to html5 for its re-think of video as a page too.
i still have the earlier version of firefox installed too. Both seem to co-exist peacefully for the moment, like queens in the harem of emperor akbar. Thank Onkar for the heads-up on the repo. Will enable and use that when it arrives. on another note, had installed chrome about a year ago, but found it a tad clumsy with privacy, as well as with its features and interface. What are your experiences with chrome vs firefox? thanks regards niyam -- niyam bhushan -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
