mozilla firefox hanging all the time

[ternor]

There is a new Firefox in the repo's now, version 10.0.

Not in my repo (aarnet).

Give it a little time, ternor. aarnet may not have synced with ibiblio yet.

the new FF 10 seems to be snappier/faster than v9.01
No hangs so far , not even with 20 tabs open

Do you have a PASS account? One of the advantages of supporting PCLOS is getting releases ahead of those without PASS.
That might be why you don't have FF 10 yet.

Oh screw! I wanted to watch http://www.visitpa.com/groundhog-day-live-stream and it said "Uh Oh, without the Flash Player installed, you won't see Phil's Forecast!"  So I reinstalled flash plug-in (which was NOT on my plug-in list) and it's still not on my plug-in list and I can't watch the stupid groundhog
Anyone ever had a flash or plug-in problem?  How'd you fix it?

Don't cry for me though, it works in Opera.

Yes, I had. This morning after updating FF to v10, flash didn't want to work.
It gave an error message that a higher version was required.
I posted about it, but, after one hour, all of a sudden Flash worked.
I didn't do anything specific about it.
It is possible that I rebooted, but don't specific remember that.
I was doing totally different things at that time..
So, I removed that post....as it was working all of a sudden.

Can't tell you more

Say no more! Say no more!
I did a shutdown and restart and flash returned!  Thanks!  (go figure)

Monty Python reference. I like it.

And here I always thought "go figure" was one of those things we say in New York City.

Dead parrot? It's only sleeping.

New problem - I'm on the road and using my laptop. Every time I open FF it tells me it's not the default and if I want it to be.  I tell it yes.  Anyone know how to MAKE it remember.  Possibly I have a "senior" FireFox.

I hope you are using an SSD disk ...

If you want it to be set as default browser after a major release number update, you have to go back and click the Check Now button again. PITA, but it's the only way I've found to make it work with Thunderbird without nagging about the default browser checks.
