Dunno, I just checked youtube, all good, and the movie trailers at
quicktime.com play well too.


The trailers aren't working for me either. And if I click "install
plug-in" it says "No suitable plug-ins found". I have installed
anything via yast since installing ff 3 beta 2.


What do you see at the URL about:plugins?

I show the same plugins as I had for ff2 - and specifically, mplayer
plug-in handles quicktime. Did you perhaps have some other setup for
playing multimedia, which might have been broken by the upgrade?

FYI: I'm running pure x64. Was working fine with openSuse 10.3 and
firefox 2.0, but it may be may problem.
Ah, 64-bit desktop. OK, all bets are off then. I'd advise going back to
the official suse 2.0 release of firefox. I've sworn off 64-bit desktop
for now, since I want all the gaming and multimedia stuff to be 100%.
Maybe in a couple years I'll try it again, but for me the pain isn't
worth the gain.

I use 64-bit linux on big servers that are running plain vanilla
services, but that's about it. I even threw in the towel and finally
converted my mail server from 10.2/64 -> 10.3/32 and the improvement has
been dramatic, since the machine was nowhere near big enough to gain any
benefit from the 64-bit OS. In addition, 3rd party software I'm using
seems to have a lot of problems in their 64-bit versions, but the 32-bit
versions works perfectly.

I saw a couple posts that 10.3 was working good with 64-bit, so I
decided to install that way. This is my first glitch, but this is my
office desktop. I don't need multi-media, so I'll stick with what I
have. Too much hassle to switch to 32-bit, and so far the speed of
FF3B2 far outweighs the lack youtube, etc.

Since this is a beta merely hosted in the build service, should I file
a Novell Bugzilla against it?
