    Firefox sucks for FFR

    Why does it suck for FFR, though? I get more AVmisses, sometimes it's laggy, etc..

    I just recently made the switch from Windows to Ubuntu, and I'm not sure how to cope with Firefox and FFR.

    Any tips?

    Firefox and IE are equals for FFR, really. For a selective few players Firefox or IE might cause them trouble, but I'm pretty sure both browsers work fine for most players. Try clearing your cache , etc.

    As far as switching to a Linux OS, I can't help you on that as I know little of its compatibility with FFR.

    Edit: You could try Safari.

            Firefox and IE are NOT the same for FFR.

            Firefox syncs every song 1 frame later than IE (and IE is usually correct). This makes for lots of offsyncness and awkward gameplay.

            Moral of the story: play on IE.

                  Firefox is horrible for FFR. I tried it. Deffinitly no the same. Like Namakun said, more AVmisses.
                  I use IE now though, and it runs like a champ even on my pos computer.

                    i also use ubuntu firefox stoped working as well try opera... thats what i did. fire fox stoped working when i switched from fiesty fawn to gutsy given. see the problem in this thread its turning into a ie vs firefox. its a personaly choice. and i dont think ie works very well with linux. so i would suggest opera. and when firefox cowitch backmes out with a new update swiych back.

                    Faster, safer and smarter than default browsers. Fully-featured for privacy, security, and so much more. Get the faster, better Opera browser for free.

                      I've played on both IE and FF and didn't notice a difference in my scores so...yeah.

                      Maybe it's just me, but they both work fine for me.

                          wow @ people saying to use IE instead.

                          Did I not say I'm on LINUX? IE is made by MICROSOFT, I.E the people who made Windows.
                          I'm not going to run a windows emulator for FFR

                          Thanks for the tip, Greek. I also found that they make an SM version for Linux. :3

                              Nah. I have WINE to run my windows apps, but to be honest I really don't want microsoft products on my PC. My hate for their apps is what made me switch in the first place D:

                              I'ma just play SM for the time being, apparently there's supposed to be a firefox patch coming out soon to handle these problems.
