@osco
It doesn't "hang", it quits, because it can't find expat.library, which is normal, since it's only supplied since morphos 3.0

Can the expat.library be copied off my PowerBook 3.1 OS and pasted to the 2.4 OS?

Nope, because it's signed and won't work on 2.4.

You know that it doesn't cost you anything at all (it's free of charge) to upgrade to MorphOS 3.1, right? Your registration and key-file remains and will work just the same!

Just download it from here: http://morphos-team.net/downloads

(Had you at least been using MorphOS 2.7 (which was really good), but why on earth did you stick with 2.4?)

OWB 1.18 seems to have some issues with Facebook, if I leave FB page open for a longer period (about 30 minutes) OWB meditates, eats memory at 750kb/s rate . Sometimes I get an error requester:

"OWB Fatal Error

Failed to allocate 0 bytes.

Unfortunately Webkit doesn't check allocations and crashes in such situation."

And problems with Google Translate are not just related to auto quick translate, there seems to be problems choosing languages with quick buttons also and usually I have to click twice on translate-button

I am having a similar problem. If I leave a OWB tab open with Facebook, ram slowly gets eaten away and eventually either OWB mediates or the system locks up.

Is there going to be a fix for the Flashplayer plugin crashing?

The Flash plugin doesn't crash. At least not if you're using OWB 1.18 and swfdec 1.2 from my website.
It once crashed when using shared cairo.library, but it's not the case with the above combination

Oh, my Powerbook with 3.1, OWB 1.18 and swfdec 1.2 freezes, (even both 'Amiga' and ctrl dosn't work), with the flash enabled, certainly does it on Youtube, maybe other sites as well.

Found OWB to render quite nicely all the sites I have visited and not even a crash yet. Office365 popup menu for email-messages still does not work sadly (yes I know its pile of crap but have to use it for work stuff).

Good work Fab, again
