Ubuntu web problem

**cuberts** · April 15th, 2010

So I just recently started using Ubuntu, it seems great, but I am having a problem with my web browser. Whenever I go to my website, (In my signature) The window turns all gray. Then a few seconds later, a message comes from adobe flash player 10, saying if I want to abort the script, and that if I dont my computer might become unresponsive. So is this a problem with the web browser?(firefox 3.6.3) Or is it a problem with my website because it only does this when I go to my website. Please help

Yes. That also happenes to me. I think that it is a problem with the Flash Player instead of your web browser if all the other pages without flash load fine.

Works fine for me with a 32 bit 9.10 gnome desktop. I have no problem with flash on any site, but I suspect that my be your problem.

@ttshivers
Thanks for the invitation to visit your site, but it needs a username and password, so your link is useless, I'm afraid.

64 bit piece of junk does the same thing on there.
Remove the counter (which is flash) and you should be fine.

Flash on linux is really severly broken IMO...

See Firefox optimization and troubleshooting thread.

I figured that there must be a web browser that allows me to have the flash player still in my webpage itself, so I installed Google Chrome beta for a 32 bit, Ubuntu and it works fine now. Thanks for all the help.
I also think that you should install it too because it allows you to run way more programs than firefox.

I have Chrome, but I don't use it. It is a very fast browser, but it can't be compared to Firefox in terms of functionality and customization. I can't simply do what I do in Firefox with Chrome. Besides, I'm a Firefox extension developer

Firefox works really great for me anyway.

BTW, next version of Firefox will come with plugin isolation, so whenever a plugin like flash crashes, it doesn't affect the browser.
