Re: Firefox sucks for FFR
NamaKun.. If you switched because you hate microsoft apps, it's really kind of a silly reason to switch. Just don't use microsoft apps. Unless you love compiling and developing, Linux will be a pain for you. Even with wine you will find it to be a pain in the ass to play games.
Linux has it's advantages, I would know.. I usually have 5-8 shell windows open on my desktop anytime connected to the FFR linux servers. But for normal home use, you would have an easier time switching to the Mac OS instead of linux.
Beyond that, it's extremely easy to get rootkitted.. What are you using for protection on Ubuntu?

Re: Firefox sucks for FFR
Wow.. I was way off topic. Because I would like to stay on topic.. Flash Plugin 9 is much faster on I.E... Hands down.. No dispute. The best thing you can do if you are running firefox is go on over to the adobe labs site and pull the latest flash plugin beta. Unfortunately for linux it won't be nearly as up to date but it's the best you can do.

LIESFirefox sucks for FFR
I've used firefox for over a year now and I have never had any problems with synced songs. Every song I play (that is synced properly) is always right on time.Comment

Re: Firefox sucks for FFR
I.E. is faster and smoother at flash playback than flash playback on FireFox. It sucks but that is the truth.

Re: Firefox sucks for FFR
There is definetly a difference between the browsers, I use FireFox for browsing and IE for playing, I have noticed clearly how much better I can play on IE due to it being properly synced, maybe it can differ but on Firefox I get avmisses like no tomorrow compared to IE.Comment

I hate to sound like I'm browser-warring but guys, it's not about which one you like more. IE factually runs flash better.Comment

Re: Firefox sucks for FFR
.... Uhh I'm doing the same thing atm... I'm running a half-decent computer (by half-decent, I mean sucky compared to most $500 computers), and I used to do Windows 98/IE until I got an ubuntu CD, and I loaded that. Now I'm using ubuntu and Firefox, and I'm finding it much, MUCH better.
Let me explain why. On IE, not only did the game lag a bit... (more on harder songs obviously), but it lagged a gigantic amount between like the 15th second of the song and the 18th second of the song. Also-- it got off-sync gradually; on songs like MAX forever, it would be like 4 beats off...
After switching, I haven't had any problem... Besides my computer being crappy.
Moral of my story compared to others: It depends on your computer, hardware, etc. Don't be blaming it directly on IE or Firefox... Ok? If you keep ranting about 'IE is better!' 'No, Firefox is better!!1', I will kick everyone in the face.

Re: Firefox sucks for FFR
IE runs smoother for me, but has random realllllly bad lag spikes when I play FFR. The arrows will freeze up for a bit, or skip a lot. Firefox runs choppier for me, but doesn't have these lag spikes. I wish I could use IE over Firefox for playing FFR, but I haven't figured out why I get those lag spikes now.Comment

Re: Firefox sucks
Ditto... FFR used to take forever to load and I had really bad lag when I played it on IE but then I got fed up with IE and decided to switch to Firefox after everyone I knew practically told me how great Firefox was. They weren't lying either and the moment Firefox was installed, this was the very first site I tested it on and when I went to play a few songs, they all loaded practically instantly and played with no lag. (note: this is a personal account of a Firefox user, your results may vary)
talk with your doctor before switching to Mozilla Firefox.Comment
