Firefox in 3.8

[Frobozz]

I'm pretty much a n00b on Linux, even tho I've used it for years, so fiddling with the kernel is right out.

Here's my usual Linux experience:

I take my XP & Windows 7 laptops, which are 32-bit only, and put Linux on them,
I do the same on an old P4 PC, and on at least one virtual machine.
( only my laptop was on 3.8 the VM's and P4 are still on Lite 1.0.8 )

This goes fine for a while, then some update breaks the machine, and I have to start all over from scratch.

EDIT: Oh, and it doesn't shut down right either, neither on the VM or the laptop. Have to pull the plug.
