Ubuntu Netbook Remix - advice required please..

[DoubleCheese]

I have a Dell Mini 9 with 2GB RAM running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04. I've run the update manager thing an it is all up to date. Its a brilliant little device but I can't get it to play any BBC Iplayer content in Firefox.

When viewing a BBC page with video, the iplayer is greyed out and you have to click it. The content starts to load and then just hangs...forever. The "update" button in Firefox is also greyed out, its running v3.012 or something like that.

So I thought I'd try Opera instead. How the heck do you install it? I click the download button on the opera site, its asks if I want to save the file, click yes and the dialogue box disappears and I cant find the download anywhere on the disk!?

Is there something very simple that I'm missing?

I'll check the Flash plugin....

Yes, Flash plugin is installed...but still doesn't work in Firefox, Iplayer, You tube etc...nothing.

I changed the download folder to the SD card and tried Opera again..it worked. Installed Opera 10 and Iplayer works straight "out of the box". Firefox may be borked
