Re: firefox question



 How are you running Ubuntu. Is this from a Live CD? 
I have Hardy Heron and Firefox 3 (64-bit) runs fine. 
I have a problem on CENTOS (64-bit) where I don't have flash. I have not 
had the time to research my problem yet. On an earlier verison of Ubuntu 
I installed the 32-bit version. 
What I recommend is that you go into the Synaptic package Manager, 
remove firefox altogether, and reinstall it from scratch.
