just download it and extract it to /lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so and overwrite the last version and then restart Firefox and see how you go.

Hey guys you know I patched png awhile back so it could display Apng files, I came across an excellent example, this dinosaur look very 3D in Firefox :) It won't work with seamonkey, only Firefox 3 series with the patched png.

I downloaded RC3 recently and tried it out. It looks good and has a good range of apps but sadly it still locks up when Firefox is running, necessitating two reboots since Gkdial sticks on the first one.

It's a shame because I very much like what you're trying to do with this project.
I might try installing and running Opera to see whether the same happens there.

its strange that yours is the only pc reported in 1yr with this issue, I would like to fix it for you, but I don't have enough details, Could you run it via the terminal and view the log while running FF, basically just resize FF to about 1/2 the screen size and do the same with the terminal, maybe when it crashes it might report something, its worth a try :)

Thanks for replying ttuuxxx. I will do as you say but Firefox doesn't crash when this happens; it would be a lot easier to fix if it did since I'd just launch it again with the same windows.

No, what happens is that it freezes up; the mouse cursor stays glued to the Firefox window and nothing else moves at all; it won't even accept keyboard inputs. The only thing for it is, as I said, to switch it off and reboot twice to return things to normal.

Good to see there's a fellow sufferer here :) It's only in certain Puppies where this is a problem; it's fine in any version of Puppy above and including 4.20.

I've tried XVesa but it has a limited range of screen resolutions / colour depths compared to XOrg (it won't go above 800x600 for anything more than 8 bit colour IIRC) and also there's a funny business with the Caps Lock button where you have to cycle through 2 or 3 settings (with lights at the top right of the keyboard going on and off) instead of just switching it off.

It's certainly better than nothing though, I've had it running in TeenPup when I ran into the same problem there.

colonel panic,

I'm pretty much a total noob, :? but couldn't you start FF from cli and then pipe or redirect output ( stdout, I think?) to a file on your HDD? Then when it locked up and you did a hard reset it would still be there. Of course, I'm probably barking up the wrong tree :lol: and there's some perfectly good reason that this is total nonsense. If so, I would you be kind enough to explain it to me so that at least I learned something for the trying? :roll:
I carefully plan ALL my random acts! :lol:

Hi, thanks for the suggestion (and pretty good for a newbie :) ). The trouble is that as far as I can see there IS no output - or at least nothing specific to the browser etc. locking up and ceasing to work. It just freezes up, period.

FireFox "hangups"

#2972 Post by Hugh »

Certain web sites, with heavy ads, will cause
FireFox to 'hang' non-responsively for quite
some time (15 - 20 seconds) while 'script' is
being processed. Very annoying, as only
one tab is capable of 'locking up' the whole
browser for recurring intervals of time.

SeaMonkey in certain versions would also
'hang' at those web pages but would always
report with a 'popup' a non-responsive script
and give the choice of trying again or dumping
it.

I've just presumed that those were the 'quirks' of
the browsers and have lived with the annoyances.

Thanks for replying Hugh. You could well be right about the scripts, the trouble is that a / it doesn't just happen for 15-20 secs, but from then on (which is why I have to reboot it), and b/ I don't have the same problem in later Puppies, i.e. from 4.20 onwards.

Maybe I'll try switching off Javascript the next time I'm in Retro and see whether or not it makes a difference (and whether or not I can still log in here and post).
