Slow Mystery In Firefox Over Linux - Can I speed up my browser when I have a youtube video?

Sometimes, when I get one page then have a youtube video, my Firefox over Linux (PCLINUXOS) slow down. Sometimes it freeze. Anybody have the same situation/problem? How can I fix? Any special config for solve my problem?

The only suggestion I would have is to check for hardware problems. Firefox has a fairly large overhead (especially if you run multiple extensions) and YouTube videos, as Flash videos, can naturally take up quite a bit of space. I would first recommend trying to clear out memory space.

Also, check to make sure that your OS, browser, and Flash are up to date. To get the latest Flash update, go here:

http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/do..._Platform=Linux

From here, select an option depending upon your version of Linux.
NOTE: If you use the first (tar gz file) option, you will need to extract and compile the installer manually.

To update Firefox, use this download:

Hope this helps!

    been hit hard. So forget the idea that just because you've switched to a new browser,
    you're magically safer. You may be for a time, but to stay safe with any software, you need to

    default interface is ugly. And no Home button, really ??? (ps. I kno i can drag it back from the
    bookmarks toolbar but still, its stupid). The address bar search thing. I liked the concept, but I
    am so used to the old way, this actually distracts me, I don't want to search my history

  16. What Made You Switch To Linux?

    I first tried Linux a few years ago, not because I was completely against Windows or anything like
    that, but just because I had some free time on my hands. I started off with Mandrake 9.0 which was
    very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
    which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
    then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
    learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn't ....
  17. Ubuntu Linux As Free Operating System Alternative

    About three years ago I decided to learn how to use Linux and after a lot of posts on a forum I
    tried Ubuntu Linux as it was recommended as a good first Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the easiest
    Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
    to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
    should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
    a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t....

  22. Linux - Why It Fails As A Desktop Operating System?
    (34)
    Linux is becoming such a craze nowadays that not even a single day passes without one or other
    distribution releasing a new version. But why is it failing so miserably in the desktop arena. The
    answer lies in three reasons. 1. The plethora of distributions -
    Redhat,Debian,Ubuntu,Suse,Gentoo,Knoppix - everbody and his uncle is coming out with new ones. 2.
    The lack of backward compatibility - I had Redhat 7.3 running. I upgraded to Redhat 9. Many

    Slow Motion Movies in Flash 5+ Hey, I just figured out how to create slow motion in ActionScript.
    Here's the scenario. You have a animation (frame by frame or tweened) that you want to let users
    be able to view in slow motion. The simplest way to do this would be to add some ActionScript.
    First, open your Flash movie that you want to create in slow-motion. Then select to Insert > New
    Symbol... . For the name type something like "slowMotion" (this doesn't really matter much),
    select the behavior "Movie Clip", and click "OK". Return to the scene without editing....
