35 Hi Matthias,
36 I posted my system config as you requested.
37 But I can't reproduce this bug with the cached page.
38 MP3 Flash player seems to be working except I can't load/play
39 some songs from the list.
40 I don't have any popups I had with the real page either.
41 So it probably was one of the ads?
