Firefox is now crashing reliably every time I visit certain Wikipedia pages.
Bus error (core dumped)
Free culture FTW!

Huh. The hacky kludge that Ubuntu used to allow us to run Firefox 3.5 in Jaunty (sorry, I mean “Shiretoko”) has left a redundant folder called firefox.3.0-replaced in my home directory. But don’t worry, it’s only wasting 600 MB of space.
In Windows, I can upgrade to Firefox 3.5 (the single piece of software that I use more frequently than any other) or Thunderbird 3.0 the day they are published.
In Ubuntu, I get to wait 4 or 5 months for it to trickle down with the next release.
(Of course, you should never upgrade on the day of an Ubuntu release. How naïve! You have to wait at least a few more months until they iron some of the bugs out. (But not all of the bugs. Those will have to wait until the next release…))
Clicking on a link to a media file in Firefox is infuriating. Totem (which sucks) is the default media player plugin. It plays the file using the entire Firefox viewing area.
And no, MPlayer is not any better.
Sometimes the touchpad scroll inexplicably stops working, so I have to use the arrow keys.

After a while, they spontaneously start working again.
