Now if I could only get spell checking working on it... any clues... no prob with seamonkey, which unfortunately seems really shaky on my machine and crashes multiple times a day - not the right place I suspect... but any clues...

Works fine, except as with all previous versions running a flash video and
clicking on fullscreen freezes firefox. Have to kill it with killall -9 firefox-bin.
Is this unique to my machine?
No such problem with epiphany.

Is this unique to my machine? I just tried it on my laptop and Firefox didn't freeze. I'm using the latest version of Flash (just downloaded it from Adobe and installed it a couple of days ago). --GrannyGeek |

Your sample URL ran fine fullscreen for me on Firefox 3.5.2 with the very latest Flash. I tried this on my 2 GHz Celeron laptop with VL 6 Light.

Thanks GrannyGeek! Interesting. I do have the latest flash as well. Must be in my box of my very, very old .mozilla home directory. Will check on that. |

Working fine for me including spellchecking and language packs.
Lyn: If you are running with American English rather than British English for your default language you have to install the American English dictionary and then it will work.

Logged-in as root. Opened firefox and the problem is the same. Firefox freezes when clicking on Fullscreen in the mentioned website. Strange, strange. |
