[Bug 289485] Re: Crash viewing friendster account with embedded video using Windows Media Player

[monsag]

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
