| Milos_SD | Hi ... I am using Firefox Nightly in Ubuntu from nightly ppa, and I am having strange problems with it for a past 7 or more days | 11:43 |
|---|---|---|
| Milos_SD | It is very slow in opening pages, and it is using 50% of cpu (100% one CPU core)... sometimes it just freezes with cpu usage stuck at 50% | 11:43 |
| NoobForever | hello all | 16:50 |
| NoobForever | question: | 16:50 |
| NoobForever | what's the deal with firefox , linux, flash , videos ? | 16:50 |
| NoobForever | I get that flash is not supported | 16:51 |
| NoobForever | but why chrome defaults to html5 while firefox still uses it's ancient flash to (unsuccessfully) try to reproduce videos? | 16:51 |

| NoobForever | firefox tries use flash and fails ^ | 16:52 |
| NoobForever | chrome uses html5 and succeeds (doesn't even use is up to date inhouse flash thingy) | 16:53 |
| NoobForever | i'm on ubuntu 12 | 16:53 |
| NoobForever | latest firefox | 16:53 |
| NoobForever | shouting at the wind | 16:54 |
| NoobForever | if you are going to ditch flash, AT THE VERY LEAST USE HTML5 WHEN POSSIBLE!!!!!!!! | 16:54 |
| NoobForever | that said, I always use firefox. I resort to chrome when video or g ames don't work | 16:55 |
| gQuigs | Adobe is abandoning Firefox/Linux not the other way around | 17:01 |
| gQuigs | I'm not sure about Ubuntu 12.04.. but in 14.04, youtube can do pretty much everyting with HTML5 | 17:02 |
| gQuigs | NoobForever: ^ | 17:02 |
| NoobForever | ok | 17:03 |
| NoobForever | thanks for answering my rant | 17:03 |
| NoobForever | I'll upgrade to 14 then (been postponing it) | 17:03 |
| gQuigs | gQuigs: that video works for me on Firefox 36.0 on vivid (of course I'm not suggesting you run vivid) | 17:03 |
| gQuigs | +1 on upgrading to 14.04 | 17:04 |
