Firefox 18.0.2 is out. It resolves an issue a considerable amount of people were having with crashes on Facebook.

Are you talking about quick reply and the live thread plugins on chrome? because there are some scripts for that.

Yeah, I'm curious what kinds of plugins he means as well.
I made the switch to Firefox this past weekend because I was fed up with Chrome and its difficulties handling heavy animated gifs. The only thing that takes getting used to is FF's handling of Private Browsing, and no GAF LiveUpdate plugin, but I can deal. I experienced a crash at work trying to google something from the URL bar, but besides that things seem quite stable.
Cheers to you, sir.

Yep. It's going to be introduced in Firefox 20. FF20 will allow you to have a separate private browsing window while keeping your original one open.

Isn't this just a placebo?
From what I think I remember, it's compiled into 64 bit, so it may be a tad faster, with the tradeoff of a little more security risks and plug-ins need to be 64 bit as well which isn't always the case.
Anyone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

In regards to 32-bit vs 64-bit, there's no observable difference. It's biggest draw though is to be able to use 64-bit Flash and Java.
Mr. Wonderful

That would be big.
Out of curiosity, are there security benefits to 64-bit Java over 32-bit Java?
Im_Special

No, and now I'm curious, what do you use the Java plugin for?

Installing the Ask! Toolbar, mostly.
Mozilla has a Modern UI Firefox app out now

That's a nice addition. How long does it usually take for Waterfox to catch up with these updates?
Mr. Enigma

Waterfox had been lagging behind bad lately. I quit using it.
Where do we get these placebos?
Anyone using Firefox Mobile?
I started having this problem a few days/weeks ago:
Tabs aren't being saved anymore. If I leave some tabs open after switching to another app without actually closing or ending the program, the next time the browser starts/open it will try to load the tab(s) like before, but eventually it will just close all the other tabs and open the "Getting Started" page.
I tired reinstalling the browser, it didn't work.
Opera and Chrome save the tabs, Firefox used to (even when removed from RAM).

The mobile version is getting a update sometime tomorrow, so maybe try that and then report back.

Is there a way to make it so that pop-out windows don't open in a new window but in tab of the current one? I'm not talking about normal ad popups (well, they do count but I have them blocked on most sites), but the ones some sites sometimes have and open in a new window. For instance, the window that opens when I click on a thread posts number to get the posters lists (ie. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/misc.php?do=whoposted&t=514149)
Popups opening in new windows is pretty maddening when you use Firefox in full screen mode

about:config or an extension. You'd need to google them though.

One thing I don't like about FF19 is that, compared to FF18 when I reload a page on neogaf, instead of staying in the same place like before, it jumps back up to the new post I entered the thread at.
Check the address and see if there's "#postnumber" like this:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=47920365#post47920365
That will always move the page to the indicated post. If that isn't there, then it should reload wherever it was.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, it's just past FF's always stayed in the same place even though there was a post number, I really miss that.

Is this still coming for version 20? This is the only feature that I actually miss from Chrome.
In every other way, Firefox stomps on Chrome these days.
I really hope it gets fixed. It's really annoying and is making me use FF Mobile less. Opera and FF need private mode like Chrome mobile, that's the only thing I like about it better than the other 2.
The FF19 seems pretty minor... c'mon FF20

Built-in PDF viewer is a good step but it's still slows as hell. For now I'll just continue to open links to PDF files with Foxit Reader.
is the built in PDF the same thing as their PDF plugin? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/
Just updated. Yep, I miss it too. It's annoying, specially when you constantly use "Go to last post" button.
Edit: REALLY REALLY absolutely annoying, indeed.
Yes that's it. Definitely not fast, but it's better than nothing, and is still under heavy development.

It's really fucking up my browsing habits.
A month or two ago, I've been watching the H.264 off Giantbomb for a while with it.
Yep. It fixed the tabs resetting issue
Good to hear.

well I just found out about the 3D view; is this just a development feature or are there "polyhedral" webpages with multiple "faces?"
edit: my wonder superceded my ability to google.
Has anyone been having occasional strange image rendering issues in Firefox? For example this GAF avatar looks like this when browsing:
The weird lines on the right are not supposed to be there nor is it supposed to look stretched like that. I figured this was a FF issue but I haven't heard anyone else bring it up so now I'm not sure.

Firefox 20 beta is out now. Brought 2 pretty big changes. One is that you can have a private browsing window and regular window open at the same time and two is the brand new download manager that is up by the search bar.
