Bug Description

Hi;

I've noticed two problems with the combination of Ubuntu 6.10 and Firefox 2.0.0.1

Both seem to happen or be the most visible on the digg.com web site.

1. When a submit a story on digg.com, a special yellow box comes up. Typing text in that box is extremely slow. Sometimes I can count to 1, slowly, or 2 from the time I type until the time I see text appear.

2. If I am listening to music on totem while reading digg, the music will be temporarily cut off if I click on a link in digg.

I downloaded Opera 9.10 through synaptic. I tested it in the same situations and had neither problem. While I could not use totem on windows xp box at work, I did not have similar problems to #1 or #2 with Fire Fox 2.0.0.1 there.

I have a high speed cable connection at home.

I think your bad experiences are due to the hangs and hick ups with Firefox & digg issue. My computer has similar issues with digg and other such sites as well when using Firefox.

Let me know if you think it is not a duplicate though. thanks for the report

I don't think it is _entirely_ a duplicate as I have the sound being cut off on other sites as well........it is just at the worst, most visible with digg.com.

For the sake of consolidation I will post my description in the comments of the other bug report so you delete this ticket.
