    For the past week or so, I've been running Firefox 3.0.4 on Ubuntu
8.10,(HP laptop ze4400us) and haven't run into anything bad yet. In
fact, I have to say this is the first install of Ubuntu I have done that
I actually *like*! In the past, I've usually run Mepis, PClinux, or
Vector, and had a few issues with Firefox acting odd especially after
surfing Youtube, but this one seems happy enough, even with compiz
running in cube mode.
