More Firefox Issues

[abooja]

Once upon a time, this browser was a godsend to me. Now, I'm tempted to go back to ~gasp~ IE6.

These are the issues I've been experiencing lately:

• Known URLs "cannot be found" around 50% of the time. I'm constantly closing and opening new windows to try again.
• Even after closing windows with or without multiple tabs, Windows has to do hard shutdown (or whatever it's called) of said windows
• Links in OTC are no longer clickable

Any clues? I tweaked the settings a bit a while back per some advice I found here (but am too lazy to locate at the moment), and untweaked a couple of those same settings per Luis's suggestion. I'm sure that's all very clear.

I'm having a hard time with this new version too. It's using system resources like nobody's business, making everything fully unuseable. I've had your having to do the hard shutdown thing too, so that isn't just you.

Thems the reasons I dumped them third party browsers.
They completely lacked an integrated feel.
Loved the tabbed browsing thing, tho....

Yeah, when I'm surfing porn and have about 13 tabs open it's a real drag on my system. Hoping they get that problem fixed soon.

Well I blew it and bought a matching DIMM (256)
the original was single banked so now I have two single banked DIMMS on this ABIT IC-7G but can't get dual channel operation Me so sad...

What do you use? You you even have Windoze?

try the Opera 8 beta...works like a charm. remember that most problems are due to the websites, not the browsers.
you're sure you're not having DNS problems? maybe set back the amount of connections that can be made per website, since some websites block people who make an X + amount of connections per IP address....

Firefox generally works fine for me, although a large number of animated gifs on a page slow things down a lot. I'm on 1.0 though, I didn't download the upgraded version yet.

I use mozilla and don't have such problems, I haven't taken firefox because I like the builtin mail client functionality of mozilla. I grew up with netscape, and throwing away 10 years of habits is not going to happen easily

Is that like saying
"the problem is with the road not my car"?

No probs here; occasionally I get a weird format for tables. But other than that I haven't used IE since 2003.

Re-download 1.0. 1.0.1 appears to have some issues that need to be fixed, but i haven't experienced any of them.

My copy of Firefox has a red dot at the top right corner and says "critical updates available." Anyone know hwat the update is and if I should download it?

 

[Inkara1]

I checked mozilla.org, it's an update to 1.0.1, including a few security patches. I went ahead and downloaded it,a nd so far pages seem to put up just a hair quicker. For my next test, I'll see how it does with a bunch of animated gifs.

 

[Inkara1]

Nope, no better with the animated gifs.

I just noticed that red dot hasn't gone away.

 

[Inkara1]

OK, I had to click on the red dot to have it find there are no updates, and now the red dot went away.
