[opensuse] Speedtest.net no longer works with Firefox
I occasionally check out my Internet connection with speedtest.net. However, recently that site no longer works with Firefox. However, it still works with Chromium and Seamonkey. There was a recent update to Firefox, which I suspect may have caused the problem.

As one who has worked in the telecommunications industry for decades, I can say that certainly wouldn't have been a standard bandwidth. As I mentioned in another note, 110, 150 & 300 and later, 600, 1200 and more, were common for ASCII with 134.5 for EBCDIC. For completeness, there were common Baudot speeds of 45.4, 50, 66 & 74.2 B, though there were some other variations. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I don't think 160 baud was a common speed. 110, 150 and 300 baud were and there was also 134.5 for IBM terminals, running EBCDIC. My first modem was a 300B manual connection. I can thank the Adventure game for that. One day, my wife was in my office and I showed her Adventure on a VAX 11/780 computer. She asked if it could run on my IMSAI 8080 computer. I said no, but if we had a modem, she could dial into the VAX. I was soon the proud owner of that 300B modem. ;-) Of course, I had to design and build a serial port card first. My current connection via the cable TV provider is 60 Mb down and 10, up, though I generally get mid-upper 70's down and almost 11 up. In my work, I often set up connections over fibre. I did a gigabit connection at Microsoft's Toronto office a few weeks ago and a 100 Mb one at Symantec on Friday. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Here my cable provider upgraded all old accounts recently to 100 Mbps download (in return for an involuntary $5/month increase in rates). Upload speed is default just 3 Mbps however. You can pay more for more upload speed but I've found the 3 Mbps upload to be sufficient for my retired purposes. Speedtest registers download as 107 Mbps.

Funny, speedtest.net says 107 Mbps here too. A local speedtesting site and ISP's testing pages both register ~200 Mbps. Which matches the results I got when downloading a 12 GB file recently. BTW: oldest experiences are replacing two 78.2 (?) modems between warehouse and office by 6 300 baud, each for their own traffic. A lot of very happy people. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.

I just tried that (beta). It works but gives results that seem out of bounds: for download I get 115 Mbps *minimum* on what's supposed to be a 100 Mbps wire (versus ~107 Mbps reported with flash version). Also counts faster on upload by about 15%. Maybe that's why it's beta. Ralph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Basil, you only need a browser with [rd]ecent support for HTML5 to use the beta version. I ran that speedtest thingie in an elderly chrome I happened to find on my laptop.
My 13.2 installation of openSUSE has the latest version of Firefox (45.0) installed together with the latest Flash Player installed *AND* it can also has the ability to "see" videos in HTML5 (this latter I use to view all YouTube videos).
But, until recently when this was mentioned by James, I am unable to use Speedtest from speedtest.net.

Leap421 with FF44.0.2 - works. 13.1 with FF44.0.2 - works. 13.2 with FF42 - works. The download/upload speeds reported vary a lot though, factor 7-8. Leap421 had much higher rates than 13.x.

When I go to the speedtest site I get a typical YouTube screen when a video is selected but won't play: a smallish yellow coloured screen with a big "Z" in the top left hand corner and a small "f" in a circle in the middle of the screen and if one clicks on either one the whole thing goes *full* screen -- and that's it.

Hi Dave, Actually I should have written "a big "S" and not a "Z" in the left hand upper corner". And Yes, it all had to do with NoScript. But let me explain. I knew that it had something to do with NoScript but I couldn't see why or where because I checked out the settings I had in NoScript and they all looked fine. And yet I was getting the result I was getting...... Then you mentioned what you did above and something clicked in the old brain -- and I went looking once again in NoScript. And what was causing the problem was------ -----that I had forgotten that some months ago for some obscure reason I ventured into NoScripts options and in the section which is headed "Embeddings" I had ticked the option "Apply these settings to whitelisted sites too". I don't know why I did this -- it probably sounded right at the time, but this is what was preventing speedtest from working. Speedtest.net is whitelisted in NoScript but this setting, naturally, negated the 'whitelisting'. I removed this setting and now I can run speedtest once again. Not to mention that I can also now play other videos on other sites (like the BBC) which suddenly stopped playing :-) .

13.1 gets updates from openSUSE (I got mine today), but Leap does it from Packman. Also, 13.1 can get it from Packman, or directly from Adobe. I don't remember the reason that 13.1 gets it via update repo (non-oss) :-? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Yes, of course. But it came apparent after some posts that this site uses Flash, and apparently some of the available flash packages do not work right with that site.
But the response which caught everyone's attention was from Carlos which pointed out that Flash was packaged/not packaged by Packman in some oS versions.
Yes. There was a notice some months ago about openSUSE stopping packaging Flash, so that users have to get it from Adobe or Packman.

My setup: - openSUSE Tumbleweed 20160307 - MozillaFirefox-44.0-2.2.x86_64 - flash-plugin-11.2.202.577-release.x86_64 (from Adobe repository: http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/)
I see similar messages often on other web pages too. The question is, if the problem is caused by a local setup failure or if the state of Adobe Flash is generally broken for openSUSE distributions. No, my error seems to be unrelated to the Speedtest.net bug. If I unset the environment variable __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS firefox can play flash again. Speedtest.net works too. I found the solution here:

I occasionally check out my Internet connection with speedtest.net. However, recently that site no longer works with Firefox. However, it still works with Chromium and Seamonkey. There was a recent update to Firefox, which I suspect may have caused the problem.
Has anyone else noticed this?
You may wish to test your network speed with no Adobe Flash Player plug-in or add-on. Testmy.net offers HTML5 speed test with a few servers around you could test against them. I am not endorsing it but options are available with better speed test performance.
