Your problem is not LEAP since I get this with Firefox on 13.1/13.2. FF won't play most of the youtube that I visit. And no, I'm not talking about junk, I'm talking about how-to and product review and how to install, repair types, that is PRACTICAL articles. However its not a licensing issue either, as when that happens I just copy/paste the URL into KDE's Kongueror and it plays fine there complete with audio. If I were being an obsessive-compulsive about the matter I would try pasting into google-chrome, chromium, reconq and qupzilla. The Firefox/Thunderbird suite has an amazing number of add-ins and extensions that boost its utility, but its also getting to be a thorny mess of questionable stability. This is bad because email and web browser are key internet components. I'd love it if Konqueror matches Firefox, but its seems to be dying now that Dolphin has taken over as a file manager, and KMail seems perennially beset by fiddly little problems[1], too many of them tied in to indexing (possibly why FF uses plain text and sqlite3). *HOWEVER*, getting back to the ${SUBJECT}, if the use-case is simply Firefox (or web browsing) and/or email, and the constraint is Firefox & Thunderbird, then there's not going be much difference between the Linux distributions to run that. In fact there's not going to be much difference between Linux and Apple/OSX other than price, and not much difference between Linux and Windows. You need to look to other differentiators. [1] As in: I've wasted to many hours trying, futilely, to get thekmail2/akonadi combo to work. I really don't understand duplicating plain text into the database. I'm already doing that with Dovecot. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
