View 7 Replies View Relatedi just updated from karmic 9.10 to lucid 10.04 using the online upgrade option. so far everything is working great. the only issues i am having seem to involve firefox. when i visit videos i get the message "your browser is no longer supported. please upgrade to a modern browser." i am running 3.6 "canonical" so it is "modern". i am able to watch videos after i close the message. it's just an annoyance to get this message every time i view a video.
next, is on some websites (like this one) it will not supply my login info. but on a few sites (like ebay) it does supply my login info. not sure why some sites work while others don't. the info is there when i look under my saved passwords....
I'm surfing along just fine when I select some link in my browser.The status line reports "... waiting for ..." and the browser seems to stall for a long time (minutes). Often, but not every time, I can select the STOP toolbar icon and reload the page. This time things work normally.
I have a similar but different malfunction running Evolution email connected to my hosted IMAP server. I select a message and see "... formatting ..." and then Evolution seems to stall for a long time (minutes). Rarely the stop-reload actions help reading email. Instead,all Evolution windows go dark grey and the entire desktop stalls.[Analysis -- It has the feel of a "network" issue provoking issues within Evolution itself rather than an Evolution-only malfunction.]
Watching the running system with 'htop' and similar, I do not see where some other application or service is sucking all of the available CPU time or such. [Analysis -- It has the feel that either the browser message or the email message were sent into limbo without reaching their intended destination. Stop-reload sends the bits to the right places and so I get results.]
I can view a php page only with links browser (a text browser) But when i use firefox i got an error "Content encoding error"

Is it possible to remotely access my Ubuntu PC through a web browser (preferably Internet Explorer)? I am currently using TSWeb through Internet Explorer at work to access my Windows PC at home. This is my only option as IS will not allow software installation on any PC's and Windows RDP is not available.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have gotten onto ebay and they never know anything as they are MS lovers. They can't answer as to why Firefox in a linux enviro won't work properly. What happens is i go to set several things like a postal charge or weight of the parcel and then i save the listing but it doesn't save. So many things just don't save when i edit the listing a dozen times it still won't. I downloaded Opera last week and tried that out but that seems to also have problems. It won't let me use the 'return' function on the keyboard when i writing a description in ebay and i suspect it is not saving other things too. As Opera and Firefox are probably the other browsers i have used so far in my 3 years experience with linux i am not sure what to try next. I don't sell that much on ebay so i thought there might be some other ebay sellers on here that can tell me what browser works for them?
View 9 Replies View Relatedi have two systems here. ubuntu 10.04 work laptop and ubuntu 10.10 desktop at home.on the desktop at home: i have unusually slowness with firefox. it's as if i'm on 28k. but the thing is, my ping speeds and chromium speeds are wicked fast. if i click out of my browser and open applications on my desktop, they are incredibly fast. all of this suggests my connection is good and my system is not overloaded. firefox on 10.10 so far has just been a huge fail. even with the latest ppa, it's unusually slow. i can literally sit there for 2 to 2.5 minutes until videos finally loads with my favorites listed below. chromium does not exhibit this.
on my laptop: while firefox and chromium both work on my laptop, i cannot log into my web site via wp-admin on chromium. it simply says the login.php link is down or temporarily unavailable. yet if i go to my desktop and use chromium, i log right in. or if i use firefox, i log right in. i cleared the entire cache and browsing history blah blah you name it, yet it still acts up. i'd really kind of like one browser that, oh.. i don't know? a browser that works? something to use on either computer? any input on what could be causing this or how to fix it?
I tried a lot of web browsers, but I can't find a good one.
I want a web browser that:
- can open most webpages and show all content including javascript, flash and whatever (unlike elinks which is text-only)
- is controllable entirely by keyboard and preferably with vim-like controls. (unlike firefox, google chrome).
- works out of the box (unlike uzbl)
- is fast
- is bugfree (unlike firefox and uzbl)
- is configurable
So please recommend a good web browser and tell me what features would make a web browser good.
I used firefox 4 before I installed ubuntu onto my laptop, and since I didn't know how to upgrade to FF4 under ubuntu, I just installed google chrome instead.
Sometimes ..... videos crash when I go to a different tab and listen to it, and I've been wondering which is the best and most stable browser to use? Firefox sounds like a good deal, but I've gotten used to FF4's interface and would like to know how to upgrade

View 2 Replies View RelatedStarting here on the assumption that this is a browser function.Firefox 3.5.3 on ArchLinuxI just tried downloading a free trial of Acrobat 9 to see if I can get it going on CrossOver. The Adobe site will not download because it sees I am not using Windows.I searched in the detailed about:config file and found nothing that looked relevant.So: How does FF (or any broswer) tell a site what OS is being used?
