I have problems with the PS3 browser. It's not bad at all, 99% of the time, and it handles Pandora and most of my webpages, but Firefox is a much better product! It's great to see the PS3, only 3 years old, continue to get better. I hope they follow through on this with speed, instead of taking years like they did with Home. There is absolutely no reason why the Firefox in Ubuntu on my PS3 should be that much better than the one in the PS3 OS.

Why doesn't Hulu work on my PS3? ]]>Nov 19th 2009 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/firefox-headed-to-the-ps3-can-life-get-any-better/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/firefox-headed-to-the-ps3-can-life-get-any-better/Nov 19th 2009 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/firefox-headed-to-the-ps3-can-life-get-any-better/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/firefox-headed-to-the-ps3-can-life-get-any-better/

Andir is correct. Hulu used to work on the PS3 until Hulu decided to actively block it.

The ONLY time my FF gets above a gig is when I have 30+ tabs open (not "a couple"). Ad-block plus, Weatherbug, Chatzilla, FireFTP, IETab, Stylish, and the VLC add-on, virtually every media codec installed, and I have it crash on me maybe once a month, and thats only when I get above that 30 tab range. Its still the best browser I've ever used to date.

Its still a rock solid browser.

It's been a solid browser for years now, but I have found more IE type issues popping up over time...especially in the past year - especially plugin problems. But you're right, I did install the 10.1 Flash Beta the other day and forgot, so maybe that's more the problem.

I didn't notice any difference in the video performance in running streaming video and flash, even though my HW is supported, so i'm happy to go back to v10.

Actually, that would be a very smart move. It's a shame the RAM is limited a bit on the PS3, but if they made their system able to handle real desktop applications, online, a lot of people would benefit.

Thank god, the web browser isn't too bad as a basic browser, but its really hampered.

And am I the only one who never really has random Firefox browser crashes?! I mean I leave Firefox open pretty much always, hibernating and putting it on standby Very often and never really had it crash.

The only last experience I had with a crash was from a plugin, and I uninstalled it and it worked fine again.]]>Nov 19th 2009 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/firefox-headed-to-the-ps3-can-life-get-any-better/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/firefox-headed-to-the-ps3-can-life-get-any-better/
