says it all really . After the upgrade (Ubuntu) I lost unsigned add-ons so reverted to the earlier version which gave me sound and allowed my older add ons but lost my bookmarks - and it would not take my old bookmark file. Reverting to this version gave me my bookmarks - which I shall export- but no sound except the weather forecast. Why is nothing simple? I fear that after all this time ( I started with Netscape) unlesss you can give me a simple fix it will be time to to try another browser which is less prone to being improved <g> Chris
