Firefox Crash When Opening Website

Hi,

I just tried to open linkinpark.com in the browser. The browser starts, reports (lower left corner) that it's loading a bunch of files, and then just crashes. This is on the 120 GB Linux version.

I just tried the website on my XP laptop with Firefox 3, and it ran fine. A buddy just checked on his Mac (also running FF3), and it was fine there too.

Can anyone else open this website?

Cheers,
AJ

Can the next few people who read this try to open http://linkinpark.com/ and let me know whether or not your linux Asprire One crashes?

Or if there is another thread on this topic that anyone knows about (which I've missed in my search) please point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
AJ

 

It could be Adobe flash if that is used on that site. There is a beta version available which seems a bit better, but Adobe demonstrate very well why open source will always beat proprietary software with this annoying bug they are being so slow to fix. Sooner the web gets away from using this horrible little format the better.

 

The site opens without problem for me (AA1 Linpus Firefox3).

 

DiBosco & zaphod,

Thanks for the posts.

Are there instructions on installing/upgrading adobe flash ... i.e., download a package from Adobe, or do it via the Linpus add software?

Good input on FF3. I still have the vanilla FF2 on the device as built, but FF3 is next on my list.

Cheers,

I have done nothing special for Adobe. I have simply installed FF3 by following the instructions on the macles.blogspot site.

 

Thanks zaphod,

Following your post, I now have FF3 and the website no longer crashes.

Cheers,
AJ
