Without searching the archives of this list I can't tell you about such
problems. But that's what you probably have done already without finding
anything. At least I don't remember any problems on the one system I
upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04, but it is always a good idea to check the
release notes [1] first because there might be something special with
your hardware.

It is included, but can you define "works well"? I don't use it myself,
but if I would, I couldn't answer your question without more info.

Yes, it is working correctly - at least for me. Again, maybe you should
define what you mean with "working correctly". Can you explain your
trouble with firefox in 8.04? Maybe I don't care about or even notice
the problem(s) you see. BTW for some time now, Hardy gets the latest
firefox version, just like Lucid [2]. Therefore you could even try it
with Hardy.
