You should read all of the posts before replying.  I too am on Breezy 
with Firefox 1.0.7.  He admitted that his site had a chronic problem and 
  that he would fix it again.  Aren't you lucky that he did.

As I said, you should read all of the posts before replying.  "Kill" 
means "crash".

You should really read *all* posts before replying.  Plain vanilla 
Breezy compilation of Firefox 1.0.7 with the standard totem plugin. If 
the problem is on my end, then the problem is Ubuntu's.  Did you take 
the tour?  With totem?

Nothing to post.  Firefox *crashes* and *disappears* because the 
embedded totem cannot read/process the QT movies on the site.  In 
private emails the owner/author admits that there may be a problem with 
the codex he used.
