Wonderful stuff. Now I know why we must spend more
money for a fast internet;-).
I have tried both videos on the firefox I build from sources
for 1-2 minutes with privoxy enabled and no problems.
The second works also on a firefox I have installed in a jail
as package. It works also with privoxy disabled. I have not dared to
do this for the first one. I have no idea who logs what...
The only thing I get are error messages as below:
$ ssh fox firefox
libGL error: failed to open drm device: No such file or directory
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so

I do not know.

With some luck somebody will do the tests on a different i386 machine.

Ok, you are much more experienced than me.
I hope that at least the tests have given some information.

Good luck, I hope you will find the root cause.
