I have just installed the netbook version of Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire One. Most websites work fine - google, BBC news etc but I find that facebook won't load and I am unable to post on some forums.

Has anyone seen anything similar to this?

are you having problems loading flash or java maybe?

Could be, to be honest it is Mrs CelticStar's netbook so I haven't had the time to do a detailed analysis of the problem.

Its frustrating, FB will not load at all, Firefox just sits there saying it is waiting for FB.

You don't have your own DNS or Proxy server by any chance?

No, this is a netbook connected wirelessly to our ADSL router
