Firefox |OT|

Firefox has been a crashing piece of garbage since the update for me. Crashes a LOT, and only with a few tabs open to boot.
Considering trying Google Chrome despite my loathing of their info tracking if reinstalling FF doesn't fix this : /

sync your profile, but only choose to save your bookmarks, history and addons. completely deinstall Firefox and nuke your profile. reinstall the program and sync your new profile. if it's still crashing, then it's likely a plugin or addon that's causing an issue.
If you're using Flash when it crashes, try this: http://techlogon.com/2012/06/10/early-problems-with-flash-player-protected-mode-in-firefox-13/

That definitely worked for me on three different computers. The funny thing is Adobe says they fixed the issue with the newest version but it is absolutely not fixed because I tried enabling protected mode again and it started locking up. So I just disabled it again and now it is fine.

Personally I decided to finally switch from FF to Chrome after the beta of FF 15. FF has just become a bloated, memory-hogging mess.

my laptop was infected with one of the worst trojans i've ever seen a few days ago. after managing to get rid of it (according to malwarebytes and microsoft security essentials), firefox has been acting up badly. the amount of memory it uses keeps creeping up the longer i keep it open, and as you can imagine browsing slows down significantly after a while.
is there a possibility that i'm still infected? i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox to no avail. any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Possibly, maybe the virus messed up some registry entries.
Did you run a virus scan on all of your removable storage / disks you might have burned since then?

some of the files that were infected and had to be removed were from my registry...shit. does this means that i have to reinstall windows to fix this?
haven't used any removable storage

I guess the improvements FF is making are working, according to netmarketshare.
Australis, yes. But I think they put the separate processes project on hold which is never a good sign.
I finally dumped liquid words (nee hyperwords). I couldn't load three pages for thirty minutes without a rainbow spinner and firefox suggesting that the script should be killed. Any suggestions for alternatives?
What's the best extension to make Firefox find in page feature like the chrome/safari find in page?

GAF is logging me out every few minutes. It started when I was messing with LastPass yesterday and thought that was the problem. I uninstalled the addons for it and now the problem has persisted. I checked my settings and the cookies have been set to expire (same as always). Ugh, I'm only having this problem with GAF and Firefox. Chrome is fine.

Delete the cookies manually and see if that helps.

Okay I think I fixed it. I tried erasing the cookies, but looks like there were still some I forgot to delete. Got rid of the one and looks like that problem is gone.
Chrome has been updated for the OS X HiDPI mode. Firefox nowhere to be seen :/
I don't know if it's the disabled hardware acceleration or memory leaks from extensions but this modified (for retina) firefox install starts slowing after every 30 mins or so. Thank goodness for Restartless Restart

Is there no Opera OT? Im trying it out and really liking it so far. I never knew, my FF bookmarks have transferred over.
The closest to an official thread is the Opera 12 thread from June.

So odd, if I close out a tab with a youtube video while it's playing, i can still hear the audio.
Would be deader than this one. I think the only reason the chrome one is so big is Andrex.
On Aurora I haven't noticed any updates lately and surely enough its up to date. Silent updates are ace.
Does that matter? It would be nice to have a centralized thread for the browser.

Ugh, favicons are still fucked with the latest versions and none of the addons manage to restore the original functionality. They all have a noticeable delay until they show the icon. Fuck this shit.
Guess I'm stuck on 11.0a2 until I find a version that lets me keep my current settings/styles.

There's an Opera 12 thread.
It looks alright, I guess. I still don't like that blue color they keep using.

What ever happened to Home Dash? I loved that UI so much; I even unpacked the extension and read the code just to see what further tweaks I could make. Unfortunately I eventually had to disable it for performance reasons. :/

Alt + Print Scrn usually does the trick for me.
I used to use FireShot back on Firefox 3.

When is adobe gonna fix their piece of shit plugin for FF ?
I haven't really had any major issues with 11.3 like some people. But have you tried the 11.4 beta 2?

Does it fix the stupid bug that drags the flash video screen with you when you scroll down ?
I didn't know that was an issue in 11.3.

Not a Firefox update as such but I had Flash player update today and it has fixed the problem where when first starting FF it would load and then go to the background as if there was another window in front. I can now start typing in the search bar straight away and not have it drop out on me, Yay. Overall feels better too.

Did Firefox 14 update borked Snap Links Plus? I can still drag to create an area to open links, but the links itself aren't highlighted.

Combovers don't work when there is no hair
Beta of FF 16 is up on the FTP.
After updating I was getting a weird pop-up error that said "TypeError: can't access dead object" and locked up the whole browser window forcing me end the process through Task Manager. After the painful process of disabling and enabling each of my addons, restarting over and over, I figured out out it was being caused by DragDropUpload. So I replaced it with EZ Drag-n-Drop and no more errors. Just posting about it here in case anyone else runs into this.
Any major changes?

The drop-down URL list (from the URL bar) seems to look somewhat different, other than that I don't think there's anything major. At least nothing I've noticed so far.

I think it's in every beta channel now, I don't know when it comes to stable because it's taken out and put back in a lot because of bugs.
