The plot thickens. Very weird. I'm using FF 2.0.0.20 (w/ Flash 10 r15
plugin) on Slackware 12.2. Not coming from a Fairpoint IP (I'm in Florida),
FF 2? It's 2009, man! :) I was just remarking to someone at work, that
FF2 is the same vintage as IE6, both first released in Oct 2006. And I
don't know what the official status of IE6 is, but FF2 has been EOL'ed.
Firefox 3 is much improved (awesomebar is awesome).
I'm using FF2 because I had some issues with FF3 and Flash on certain
web pages, including some that I'm quite interested in (www.mlb.com for
one). Seemed that no matter what version of Flash I used with FF3 that
site would not load all the content properly, but worked fine with FF2.
There aren't any features in FF3 that matter to me, so I'm happy with
FF2. I have just noticed that there is a new Flash 10 release out
(r22), and I may give that a go with FF3 to see if things are resolved.
I'm a big fan of the "don't upgrade just for the sake of upgrading" and
"don't fix it if it ain't broke" mindsets. That's one reason that I use
Slackware... :-) It just works.
I think the problem with this myfairpoint.net site has to do with
Flash/browser version combinations, and/or broken/disabled Javascript.
Once more for the record, it works perfectly with FF2/Flash10_r15, with
JS enabled. If I get motivated enough to try FF3/Flash10_r22 this
weekend, I'll report back on it's operability.
