Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

upon starting FF3 screen is unresponsive for a few seconds, than dark for an other few seconds, then unresponsive again, and finally dark one more time. My home page is http://slashdot.org/ and i have quite a few add-ons (yoono, ad-block, fire gestures, stumbleupon, hyperwords, xippee, ubuntu FF mods, surf canyon feed sidebar and costome google) i use both the windows and Linux versions of FF3 and this is only an issue w/ Linux. I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and it would be great if i could get FF3 running like FF2 used to, i had a similar problem with FF3 B5.

    Also, id like to know if i should report th bugs in my flash player the same way as i do this one, and if not, where to report them, if possible. (on youtube and veoh my flash player is only good for pressing play. Tracking and changing screen size options are unresponsive/slow)

 Thanx in advance, Paul

Hi Paul

If you start it with the command "firefox -safe-mode", to disable all plugins and add-ons, does it still happen? If not, try enabling and disabling different ones to find out what's causing it.

Where to report flash player problems depends on what flash player you've got. Unfortunately this is a bit complex... Try going to "about:plugins" in firefox, and seeing if you can find out. On here (Launchpad):
-flashplugin-nonfree is the package for the official Adobe flash player. You can report bugs, but as it's not open source, there's not a lot we can do about it.
-Given what you describe, I think it's most likely that you have either swfdec or gnash--in each case, bugs can be reported against their package. And they are open source, so they may improve. Check that the bugs haven't already been reported, though...
-There's also an old attempt to make a free flash player, called libflash. This hasn't been updated for ages, so if you are using it I suggest you switch to something else.
