This link crashed my firefox on Debian. Every time I tried to load it
into a new browser. When I opened it in a new tab I saw the embedded
videos and clicking them caused firefox to vanish/crash again.
But back to the article : firstly the Ubuntu is, as you say, terribly
unoptimised and fairly useless on a device this size.
Secondly why are you so certain something running Quake 2 is so cool?
Quake 2 is more than ten years old.

Same problem here.
Crashed when I clicked on his profile.
It doesn't happen all the time though, sometimes it works fine.
Weird.

Following a reboot it works fine now. Machine had been up for a long
time. Maybe something had got tired.
Actually its a smart little device. But I wish they waited and ot these
things really working before bigging them up. its got openMoko written
all over it. The problem? The brains see the "problem as solved" as
wander off leaving a half finished buggy mess.
Only time will tell.

Not here:
from a terminal window
moshe@linuxdaw:~$ firefox
Segmentation fault
moshe@linuxdaw:~$ uname -a
Linux linuxdaw 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008 i686
GNU/Linux
It seems that the page loads weird.

Using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Firefox 3.0.3... Yes, FireFox task goes
down. Reported in Bugzilla as Bug 458003.
Hadron claims to actively report bugs and criticise me for
failing to. Did not see see this reported by him or any other.

Does it happen every time or only intermittantly?
Do you notice that the page loads weird?
IOW it kind of fills in what was previously displaying on FF.
I've never seen anything like it to be honest.
Pages either work or don't work so it might be some kind of a timing issue.

Something at the end of the document, a link to another site is
causing the crash. If it is holding, times out, then stays up.
If call succeeds, it goes down.

No, otherwise seems to load fine.
Now this is another wierd one. Click on the person's picture to
see profile, if right click and select "Load in a separate
window", profile comes up fine. If tab opening is enable, it
goes down if it did not previously.
What is wierd is I have been using FF for past several years
without any problems. It has been more stable than Internet
Explorer and loads pages faster.
Hopefully the bug report will assist them to sort things out.

Page has HTML errors within it, some of them are interesting but
would be better for others to see for themselves:

Same thing here.

That is my experience as well.
I also like Opera.

Great detective work HPT!
I thought that page was funky because the first time it bombed but then it
worked and then bombed again later.
Good catch!
Hadron
Yup. Good to see something positive done. And meanwhile the loons
claimed I was lying. Works for them!
LOL.

Yea....
The idea is to get the page or firefox working and claiming it works when
it doesn't is not helping anyone.
So now we have HPT doing some good Linux advocacy and Marti doing some
pretty good music.
