Edward beat me to it, i can't better his reply. Another work round is to use 
Opera - not Open Source, but free, and supported by an active comunity. 
However you have to install it using the tar.gz package as the Ubuntu 
packages are for 32-bit architecture  .... My pc is an Intel EMT64 machine. 
It runs much better on Feisty and (currently) openSUSE 10.3 than it ever did 
on Windows, but it's taken me quite a lot of fiddling to get there.
