I actually like it, I'm glad they didn't exactly follow the trend of completely flat logos.
Just read recent news of Firefox reclaiming its throne as the best browser.
Ever since I was unable to scroll, I can't remember when which version it was (probably 4), I switched to Chrome and never looked back.
Chrome has been pissing me off lately and I really want to switch back, but I checked Firefox again and I still can't scroll

Sorry to ask this but... i downloaded FF this past sunday and it can't run youtube... what can i do?
omg it works. Thank you.
I could have sworn I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I'm no sure why it worked this time. Maybe they finally fixed my unique issue with this latest version
Install the latest version of Flash from here. Make sure you visit that link while using Firefox, and that the site has properly auto-detected your OS and browser.
Was probably an incomplete uninstall or a profile that wasn't properly deleted. I've never heard of the problem that you were having, so it's possible that your install was corrupted the first time around.
Anyway, glad to hear that it works!

Uh did you ever install Adobe Flash?
If not, download it from here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
You want the section called "Plugin-based browsers" if you are running Windows.
Also, if you want to skip using flash you might want to try enabling YouTube html5 mode.

Going back to firefox after years on Chrome.
I want to be able to open a new tab, type 'n' and hit enter and have it go to neogaf, because neogaf is the most visited website I have that starts with 'n'. Chrome does this and I am tired of accidently searching google for 'n' every 5 minutes when I use firefox.
I don't want to press 'n' and then the down arrow key and then enter. I want to press 'n' and then enter. How can I make this happen?

I don't need to press the down arrow key for this to happen. I don't know if I changed something or if it was the default behavior :/

It started working for me now and I didn't change anything as far as I know. Strange but appreciated.

Hanging how? They freeze up and refuse to start at all, or is there just a slight pause when you start it?

hey guys I am using Cyberbox on a windows 7 64 bit machine. Is it the best browser is there another iteration of Firefox which is better and faster?
Found the problem it was Lastpass app binary in version 22 broke it, Found a patch!
Oh and yes i am using Cyberfox now also way faster then firefox for sure,since it is made 64 bits and there updates are just as high as firefox it self.
Being able to address more than 2GB of RAM is probably a bigger draw than speed for many who use it.
Why do you need 900 tabs open at the same time?
I can think of 900 different reasons, and they all probably start with "porn".
Old pic, but still.
None of those were porn.
Now it's more like 1430 tabs and 10 windows.

Does anyone know if the portable version of Firefox run worse than the installed version?
Nope, it runs just fine. I use it at work pretty much daily.
If you're using it on a USB, make sure that the drive and port are USB 2.0, otherwise it'll be slow.

Have you had or received reports of "NeoGAF: Quick Quote, Reply, and Edit" not loading at times?
Are you using the latest version?

I made an update. Please PM me whenever you have any issues though.

Yup. Chrome always freezes if I leave it open for awhile and return to it later.

So Firefox is still playing poorly with Flash, even after a flash update this morning.
Visiting certain sites (tumblr for example) with flash makes the browser hang and not respond for sometimes up to five seconds.
Disabling flash player seems makes the problem go away instantly. I googled the problem and one suggestion is changing Flash's cfg file to remove the new "protected mode", but that doesn't seem to work.
Anyone else struggling? I feel like switching to Chrome until this sorts itself out.

Sounds like something went wonky with your profile.
Try running firefox with a new, empty profile.
Guys, I decided to do an experiment for the next few days and switched to Firefox from Chrome... First thing I did after installing was open the Sunhilegend appreciation thread... It's SOOOO smooth.
Actually my only issue with Firefox is for the addons. It's not game breaking but the addons that I had in Chrome either have inferior counterparts in Firefox or flat out don't exists.
The most important addon is a good Gmail Checker. I tried 3 or 4 in Firefox, I found one that is all right but in the end the one I was using in Chrome is still better.
There's a couple of addons that I couldn't find equivalent in chrome but the only one I really miss is an Autoscroll. In chrome there's an addon that let you click on a button to automatically scroll the page to the bottom (like if you were rolling down the scroll wheel on your mouse non stop). It's so great when you're using the NeoGaf live thread addon. I couldn't find an equivalent here.
Anyway, overall those are minor issues, other than that I really like the feel of Firefox.

GMail Manager is the best. Unfortunately the original author stopped doing regular updates on it but someone forked it and is trying to keep it up to date. You can get it here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gmail-manager-ng/
Works perfectly for me.
Er... that's built in to Firefox. Click the Middle Mouse Button and then you'll see a round icon with arrows in it. Just move your mouse down and it'll start scrolling. The further you move the mouse down the faster the scroll speed.
