Hmmm, I've already applied the updates mentioned in that thread, and I still get frequent Firefox crashes...

• The finish is great and the casing looks and feels solid. 
  
• The display looks absolutely great and the screen is a very large portion of the upper case.
  
• The keyboard is quite nice, although the ISO layout will take some getting used to.
  
• The default operating system, while not exactly how I would set it up, looks great and runs snappy.
  
• The computer is very fast and has no problem running anything from LibreOffice to 1080p YouTube Playback and even a modern web browser.
  

• The trackpad is not great. While functional, it feels a bit laggy and makes two clicks when you click the middle.
  
• The camera looks a touch bulky. Sure, I may be nitpicking on this one, but the device would look much nicer if it didn't protrude from the case.

An asterisk is this * try shift-8.

An at symbol is this @ try shift-single-quote.

Sorry I don't have it in front of me to check.

The default Debian build was fine for me however

So I fixed the firefox crashing problem by flashing Ubuntu+Mate img to MMC with Wizzard's great instructions. However page loading in Firefox and chromium is very slow. I waited for 11 minutes to load www.pine64.org in firefox and gave up. Reading the "connection information" in the wifi icon on the top menu I get values between 0 and 26 Mb/s on the PBP and 60+ Mb/s on my Asus laptop running Ubuntu+Mate  in the same location in my house and even more in my Mint netbook. Since I bout the PBP mainly to surf the inte4rnet, read email, etc online, this makes the PBP virtually unusable. Thunderbird times out while downloading 4 emails! Does anyone else have this problem?I'm guessing it's either a problem either with the wifi hardware, firmware, the or kernel. I like the PBP other features and look but this is a deal breaker for me. What can I do about this?
