4. Settings->Sharing accounts then 'new' and select facebook and add your username and passwd. Then from photo viewer 'share' and it will be on your fb account

5. More -> App. Manager->Update

1 . Youtube flash plugin is only for youtube videos. For full flash you need to enable flash in the browser

Well i heard all this hype about firefox now on n900 and everyone talking about it so i assumed it was better...

On the default browser flash videos play sluggy is there a fix for that?

Re: Hey, just got my N900 today. Questions about Firefox, emulators, sharing plugins
 

Yeah, it's called Flash 10.1. Coming soon (-ish?).

Overall, it looks like you don't know very much about the phone you just purchased.

You just assumed Firefox was better then the built in browser without trying either first? You're looking for an N64 emulator?

Not to mention how quickly you posted seemingly simple questions to the forum without so much as even searching first for your answers.

This is all giving me the vibe that you're a 12 year old with ADD and too much of his parent's money.

If that's not true, I sincerely apologize and will happily offer to help you get the most out of your N900 in any way I can (software suggestions, tips, fixes, etc..).

But if it is true that you fall into the above demographic then please just sell your N900 to someone who understands it and go get an iPhone already.

A good comparison of the two browsers was done on this site:

the default browser, microB was the overall winner. I too find that some flash videos are laggy but it all seems to depend on the site, the connection and sometimes on nothing really.

A little harsh but in the spirit of ensuring this site doesnt turn into a mass portal for any and every question already posted to be repeated without much (or little) research - I agree. But the author will find that most people here are very eager to help and wont mind simple questions.

I really like Firefox too, but I wouldn't say it's better than MicroB, just different. I've found MicroB works better for some sites, Firefox better for others. Firefox works as well or better for the stuff I do the most and I prefer the Firefox UI, so I installed Browser Switchboard and made it my default browser.

To zoom in Firefox, double-tap the area of the screen you want to enlarge or use Ctrl + up/down arrows to zoom the entire screen.

No no i have been researching this phone since it was released, the only thing i don't know how to use is the Terminal (Just started Using Ubuntu also) Im a big fan of Nokia and after watching countless youtube video's on this phone, stuff seems just a little harder with it in my hand's.

Re: Hey, just got my N900 today. Questions about Firefox, emulators, sharing plugins
 

And i stopped looking into the phone about 2 months ago as i didn't think i would have it this quick as i didnt have an extra 700 lying around to upgrade from my n95.

Double-tap on the paragraph you want to zoom into.
