Firefox ESR 17.x plays videos on youtube, but:
* no sound in youtube
* youtube login: after entering the username, the login screen's "NEXT" is unresponsive, to continue to the password screen. it seems like something in google/youtube login is blocked by FF esr.
Sound
* see previous point under FF. I haven't tried anything else yet.
(unless I am overlooking it, I do not see any sound control in the panel)
Network connection worked out of the box (ethernet), BUT:
* unable to get Ethernet to work again, after testing WiFi.
(I tried both static and dhcp. I have a cable-modem with a dynamic IP that changes once a day after midnight)
Brightness levels, increments are too large:
* there are only 6 brightness levels, and choosing one in the evening, in a dimly-lit room, results in the screen being either too bright or too dim. Need finer increments (more granular control).
Mouse Gestures on touchpad:
* how to make simple mouse gestures work? Example: 2fingers on the touchpad to scroll up and down in programs and browser? I was unable to find a place where to set this.
Missing:
* the documentation refers to a menu entry to check your system (under system tools). it's not there.
Any help will be appreciated.
