I setup a friend with 7.10, during surfing with Firefox, she was prompted for a Flash plugin. She installed Gnash, and it seemed to cause all sorts of problems with her system when flash enabled sites were encountered. I never thought a plugin could completely lockup a system, but sure enough, it was a repeatable issue. Uninstalled Gnash, installed the proprietary Flash plugin, and all was well.

<div>I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with an issue I have. Due to me trying to finish up my Masters, new job, and everything else I just have not had the chance to really work with the Chicago Team Although I do hope to beable to in the future. What I have been doing to try and support Ubuntu is help anyone I know or run into that has problems with windows or has an old machine that is not running very well change to Ubuntu. I just recently switched my sister to Ubuntu and she loves it but has been having problems with firefox freezing. Mostly it seams like its happening when she goes to sites that pop up a window when she clicks on something. Perhaps a java window. I have to still get some specifics from her. I have also noticed that it does happen on my system if I go to sites that have java enabled pop ups.

<div>If anyone else has had this and was able to fix it I would like to hear how you fixed it. I check out the Mozilla forums and ubuntu and didn't find anything that helped but I may have just missed it.</div>

<div>Thank you</div>
