firefox 3 and flash solution

[Husse]

OK
FF3 gets much better with flash over time though....

Generally it is the other way round
Unfortunately it's not only flash, but the sites add a lot of javascripts and what not and in many sites the flash may be linked from another (as does youtube)

I just checked Pandora. Everything works fine on my end with Pandora, as well as YouTube. I have not been able to duplicate or verify the flash problem in question. In fact, Mint 5 and Firefox 3 have been the most stable combination I have had in over a year. Not sure what Clem and the boys did, but it darn sure works for me.

And others have a hell with flash
I think this is hardware/drivers very much

been there done that and no cigar

Actually, I think removing the repository package and installing flash by hand is the wrong thing to do. Clem put some sort of wrapper around flash 10 to keep it from crashing all of FF when it craps out. The result is just a blank box when flash fails. Useful when you have multiple tabs open and such. A manual flash install will just reinstate the big FF crash when flash fails. I think we should all bear in mind that flash 10 is still beta right now. Lots of kinks clearly apparent...

smelm0, I don't quite understand what you did. I just did a fresh reinstall of Mint 5 Elyssa as it is the only distro so far that I can get both my ethernet and wifi working on. I don't recall having the option to use KDE. Could you explain this in more detail for me?

There is a report to day that the foxmarks add on can disturb flash
So if you've got it - remove it
