Have been trying firepup (customised firefox 1.5, security hardened from Red Hat packaged my ttuxxx) and it seems very stable, and fast on older computers.

Over the last few years I have noticed a trend of firefox becoming gradually more and more unstable with flash. This early version of firefox 1.5/flash 10 seems very stable so perhaps it is mozillas doing.

Any code, open or closed, should be able to recover from serious errors before they become crashes. Buggy proprietry code like flashplayer should be "wrapped" or encapsulated (to give it its proper programming term), so that crashes dont bring down the system. Since firefox is the host platform, it is the mozilla developers that should take into account flashes erratic behaviour and code around it, whether they hate it for ideological reasons or not.

I look after about 100 pc's running puppy (at least I havnt kept track) in the local area and the firefox/flash crash issue is one of the biggest complaints about it. If a Firepup/Flash 10 combo as a main browser gets around that then firefox 1.5 is still best linux web browser out there for us.

Ok, yet another stupid question from newbie Wink

I have an opera and seamonkey. I've installed flashplayer 10, and - i cannot pass test on adobe site in Opera, but seamonkey seems to work properly (altought slow as usual).
i used ldd /usr/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so - it's a place where opera have a plugin - and i have message that there is no such file.
Can i manually put libflashplayer.so into this directory?
It seems that flashplayer 10 haven't installed properly in Opera.

I have SeaMonkey 1.1.11 and would like to install the newest flash. Is it compatible or should I get a newer version of SeaMonkey? (there's a .pet for that, right?)
I'm running Puppy 4.1.2 with my settings saved to a USB stick.

Gosh you have already updated

I found the previous version posted a few days ago
by Wolf Pup is working for me

Previously (using an experimental alpha Linux release of Flash)
I would watch three vids on Youtube and crash! Crying or Very sad

Had to use ctrl + alt + backspace and type xwin
and restart browser

Now I can watch - many thanks Smile
