Greetings;

Well, just ran into a another frequent problem.

I just re-booted and restarted Iceweasel. (22 windows,
I don't know how many tabs.) I had a bad feeling as
soon as I saw that all the favicons were YouTube.
There you go. As others reported before, Flash doesn't play nicely on
Iceweasel. 22 youtube windows will certainly crash Iceweasel.
This is a behavior I have noticed on Iceweasel as well. Load flash
intensive pages or lots of pages that has flash components in Iceweasel
and the weasel looses its cool and crashes. Sometimes it just freezes
other times it terminates on its own.
However upon restarting Iceweasel it asks to restore the crashed session
or start a new session. If you don't get that prompt, then your
configuration has deviated from the default.


Everytime I try to get an internet page, either refresh
or new link, I get the following message, and no page.

Not Found

The requested URL /~joyce/album/ was not found
on this server.
Apache Server at www.youtube.com Port 80

It appears that it is really sending the request to
YouTube. I have no idea why!
Youtube is using flash. That's the reason.


Thanks for any help!

Mihira,

Slight misunderstanding. None of these pages had a
youtube URL or contained any flash "stuff" in it.

Iceweasel just all of a sudden starts sending all
requests to Youtube. It also occasionally sends them to
Redhat, but not as often.

The little Youtube favicon will show up in the tabs
when this is happening, doesn't make any difference
what the actual page is!

I have installed Flash Block and Block Site so I will
see what effect they have.

Tnx!
Dennis
