Slow or not working at all? What video card do you have? The only problem I found when I Googled was related to Nvidia cards.

Sorry, I have no idea in that case. I recently switched to Mandriva and FF 3.5.5 is working fine there. I suggest you ask in the Ubuntu forums. You might also try another distro on a live CD and see if you get the same problem. It might just be something as simple as a FF setting. Are you sure you have not managed to turn off Javascript somewhere? Do other browsers work OK? If Epiphany Gecko is still in the repos trying it might narrow down the possibilities because it uses the same rendering engine as FF (they may have switched completely to the newer webkit based version of Epiphany). I think it has its own copy (rather than using a shared library), but if it also does not work it is a clue.

If you have Firebug installed as an add-on then you can see if the request is being made. All you have to do is activate the "console" part of Firebug and reload the page. Any Ajax requests will be shown there. It may offer more clues, like if you see a request and an response but nothing loading on the page then at least you know that the requests are happening. I am using the latest install of Ubuntu's FF and have had no issues.

Demaestro,
thanks, when I installed Ubuntu it went in a full batch of updates, so I was under the impression that FF was among the updated, but it is still the 3.0.1.5.
Could you "teach" me how to update to the newest FF version that fits Ubuntu
Thanks

Henry, That is the same version I have installed. It could be that you have some other setting that is blocking requests. Try installing Opera and see if Ajax requests work using it... if you get the same issue in Opera then you know it is something else and not the browser itself. Do you have a firewall or anything like that running?

Well. I guess it's something else
Opera, does not play my site video as it hangs forever, and does not open any links from my site, which I know works fine.
on other machines when loading my site Opera perform outstandingly well.

More..
Chrome with Ajax does fine
However Chrome shows my videos but no way to crank them on.
I suppose I might miss some plugin?

Flash? Have you tried Youtube? Is the Flash package showing in Synaptic or any of the browsers' lists of installed plugins? If you have not got Flash go here <url:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash>

To let you know what I did,
before going for the drastic measure I decided to give Chrome a try.
Exactly what a great browser should be about!
Fast, does the job, video Ajax etc...
Outstanding!

Glad you got it working. Before a re-install I would have recommended looking for a Linux guru in your area to have a look at it.
