(I did file a bug on this.) It's very annoying. I've also seem the problem reported by Asbjørn, where the video thinks it's at the end after only a couple of seconds.

It looks like it does, but what actually happens is that it jumps from 0:2 to the end (and thus stops playing). It looks like it froze, but it didn't, it jumped to the end instead - not that that is any better... Im using Minefield 3.7a build 20091110 For me the video doesn’t really freeze.

Settings are not saved in this file and Firefox will open everytime with the startpagfe. All other settings that are stored in the pref.js will also not save. Firefox should detect this but maybe this and create a new prefs.js but this seems to be broken/disabled ? The downside of a new prefs.js is that the user will loose all stored passwords because the password file number is random and the used filename is stored in the old prefs.js The issue with the “can’t save settings” is usually a broken prefs.js file.

I too have issues with the video, when I'm showing it off to people I always need to press play and then pause it immediately to let it load. Because otherwise it starts straight away and then after 2 seconds has to pause to buffer for another 5-15 seconds.

Sumo has some great documentation for that.
