Okay, I downloaded Firefox thinking my being dropped was my

fault. My other sites, no problem. I clicked on page 1 "Paris back to Jail" and again, was dropped and got the dreaded "Error Report." When this thing is fixed I'll be back, meantime I'll go to FReepers, see what they're doing so you don't have to!!

1. disable Adobe Flash and your problem will go away.

It will cause minor inconveniences, but you can turn it back on when you need to and you rid you of flashing visual pollution ads and cpu intensive HEY! LOOK AT ME!!! ads, which I can't stand.

3. Yea I know turning off flash Player will fix the problem, but I'm depending

on Skinner to get DU's problem with Flash Player fixed. I know they're working on it, and almost all the time I'm on DU I also am streaming liberal radio too, and it needs the Flash Player.

4. Unfortunately it seems that it's not DU's problem with the Flash Player...

Many other people across the Internet are having this problem with the Flash 9 plugin:

9. Try installing Firefox's flashblock extension - lets you choose

which flash items you want to see - once loaded, most flash panes will appear simply as a play button - if you want to see the flash, click it, otherwise don't. Then you can stream your net radio while being untroubled by flash adverts without having to configure differrent sites and domains.

I've been using it for a few years, because I find I can live without most embedded flash things, but I still like to visit youtube and see the occasional other thing..

5. That's one of the things that made us go to FireFox.

Adobe Flash 9 sucks.....big time. We could uninstall it.....it keeps coming back.

8. I had trouble with Firefox for a while

I had trouble logging on DU and a couple other sites for a couple month.

My son re-loaded Firefox for me and it seemed to fix the problem.
