I don't normally do sound, anyway, but decided to try it this time. Never got any. Tried to open the Preferences dialog : clicked on Edit, then on Preferences; that word took the highlight -- and everything froze.

Youtube = Flash, which is always a bad time. Plus, sound with Flash takes a bit of extra setup perhaps. Try the following: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-f375cba46014e861cd5ec7643bd7c4ef05acff2b

Thanks, but I think I'll go on skipping sound. Otoh, I am interested to discover Ubuntu.ppc exists.

I suppose I need to know how and where to get into epiphany from the command line and get rid of the youtube URL and its tab; do I also need more? Anything to do to privoxy or Fedora itself??

I think it looks like epiphany is still running, though you Force Quit it. I'd say kill it. 'killall epiphany' should do the trick, or you could end the process in the GNOME System Monitor. Either way, you should be able to get Epiphany to start after that by just telling it not to recover tabs.

In fact, I let it start with tabs, and quick closed the one with youtube on it. Maybe I'd better skip the Al Gore parody ...

Epiphany reminds me of the gray squirrels I hunt in Southern Appalachia. You can get a good clean hit, so that they fall out of the top of a tree like a sack of meat, landing with a loud thud -- and see them in a few minutes forget they're dead, and start to crawl off.

Or was this a failure of the FC5 Force Quit button? I've never had that happen before ...
