I have trouble with FF hogging the system taking 100 percent as it tried to keep previously loaded pages updated.

It was good once but alas they seem to have recently changed it.

Flash seems to be working for me... at least I can view all the BBC iPlayer stuff. It (Flash) prompted me for a download after I installed it and it seems to be working fine. Not sure about popups as i don't go to sites that use them. The download tracker is lovely and for those that don't like flash, it fully supports HTML5 for video etc (albeit the website your viewing the video from has to support it to.)

Given its a Beta I quite like it.

I get "Flash Player 10.1 is not currently available for Internet Explorer 9 (64-bit) Beta." when I click on the download Flash link. There is a preview version but I don't want to run a Beta version on top of another Beta version, might cause a paradox and the universe might implode or something. :lol:
