Hi;

I've noticed two problems with the combination of Ubuntu 6.10 and Firefox 2.0.0.1

Both seem to happen or be the most visible on the digg.com web site.

1.  When a submit a story on digg.com, a special yellow box comes up.  Typing text in that box is extremely slow.  Sometimes I can count to 1, slowly, or 2 from the time I type until the time I see text appear.

2.  If I am listening to music on totem while reading digg, the music will be temporarily cut off if I click on a link in digg.

I downloaded Opera 9.10 through synaptic.   I tested it in the same situations and had neither problem.    While I could not use totem on my windows xp box at work,  I did not have similar problems to #1 or #2 with Fire Fox 2.0.0.1 on my windows box.

I have a high speed cable connection at home.

I am not sure if this issue is an Firefox issue, an Ubuntu issue, or something resulting from the combination of both

Does this fault still happen to the user?

If so, try running a Firefox version from mozilla.org to see if same fault exists.

Otherwise, consider reporting your bug in launchpad.
