Hey, just got my N900 today. Questions about Firefox, emulators, sharing plugins
 
And i just have a few questions

1. I Installed firefox and its not letting me view video's via flash, i went to add on's and tried to install the youtube flash thing but it failed? Any idea's?

2. How do u zoom in on pages useing the firefox browser?

3. Where can i find emulators for games like n64, snes and so on.. They dont seem to come up in the respitory's even the extra ones i have added.

4. This is an important one - How can i take images and video's and upload them straight to Facebook soon as i take them?

Thats all i can think of now cheers for the help

5. Also where do i find the actual maemo software update's? Cant seem to see it anywhere..

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

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:

http://www.nokiaphoneblog.com/?p=2952

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.
