The issue was a plugin conflict (not addon, but plugin).\u00a0 Once I removed conflicting plugins and restarted Firefox &#8211; it worked automagically.<\/li>\n<li>Flash was broken in the browser, but once I removed all plugins and re-installed the ones that I needed, the problem was solved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That was pretty much all in the troubles department.\u00a0 Now for the good stuff.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My filesystem wasn&#8217;t upgraded to ext4.\u00a0 This is probably a bug or something, but I&#8217;m glad it wasn&#8217;t.\u00a0 I have a single \/ partition with \/boot, \/home, \/var, and everything else on this same partition.\u00a0 Probably Fedora decided that it&#8217;s too precious for the upgrade.<\/li>\n<li>Booting is faster now.\u00a0 I can feel it.\u00a0 And being on the laptop, I do lots of booting (between home and office, due to very different setups).<\/li>\n<li>KDE 4 is a pleasantly usable stage.\u00a0 After using Gnome for the last year, I decided to give KDE 4 another chance, and it happily took it.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a fast, slick, efficient desktop.\u00a0 And I enjoy using it.<\/li>\n<li>Firefox 3.5 beta 4 is way faster than whatever I had before.\u00a0 Some addons are still not supporting this version, but the speed with which it starts up and renders pages provides for some balance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, apart from having just one screen now, I am enjoying the ride.\u00a0 It was worth waiting for, downloading, and\u00a0 upgrading.\u00a0 And the screen &#8230; the screen will come.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>Fedora 11 &#8211; code named Leonidas &#8211; was released just a few days ago.\u00a0 Having access to an excellent Internet connection in the office, I immediately downloaded it and upgraded.\u00a0 It didn&#8217;t go as smooth as I wish it did, and I still don&#8217;t have everything working properly, but I&#8217;m glad that I did upgrade. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2009\/06\/14\/fedora-11\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Fedora 11<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,6,62],"tags":[2351],"keyring_services":[],"class_list":["post-11579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","category-linux","category-technology","tag-fedora-linux"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Fedora 11 - code named Leonidas - was released just a few days ago.
