Firefox issues

i suspect that if you go to view > toolbars > customize, you can drag them where you want them

I've lost all my bookmarks AND I can't go back to the last pages, there's no history or anything, BUT it has saved my passwords. Is this some kind of virus? Should i stop typing now and get the hell out of here?

It won't bookmark anything either.

Sounds like your profile has has corrupted. If you're on Windows, it'll be somewhere under C:\Documents and Settings\blah blah\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ - make a copy of it just in case, then delete the original and restart FF.

(path)\firefox.exe -profilemanager

3.5.2, die die die

I've been running it without worries -- what's up?

Generally slow, often unresponsive/beachbally. I googled around a little and I'm definitely not alone. Apparently there's a Skype extension that's causing a lot of trouble, but that's not applicable for me. I just backed up and reinstalled 3.5, we'll see how that goes.

Installed the beta of 3.6. Much faster on start-up and in general.

3.5.5 still hogs resources like you wouldn't believe, especially if you have gmail open or something ajax-heavy, wich seems really bullshit. I shouldn't check activity monitor and find my browser using 80% of CPU resources.

which platform?

under linux there used to be a problem where having lots of tabs loading would eat cpu. it was actually the little animations in each tab that was causing the problem (was an mng or something)... and changing that, using css, stopped it.

on Mac. I'm running Namoroka alpha now, still not much better.

Using Mac 3.6b3. Using the extensions.checkCompatibility tweak to enable incompatible add-ons isn't working for some reason, any ideas?

Got the same on the Windows version. Think it has to do with this new feature.

"The extensions.checkCompatibility preference becomes less relaxed. In the past, it has been abused by users as a way to force incompatible extensions to work with newer Firefox versions. The preference is still there but it will have to be more explicit. For example to force them to work with Firefox 3.6, you wll have to add extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6 and set it to false. For future versions you will need to set extensions.checkCompatibility.3.7 to false and so on."

Right, just set this in about:config - because it's a beta, you have to add the preference as extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6b

Fucking developers.

thanks so much! how annoying.

I dunno if it's just FF or all crappy browsers, but why won't it/they render the page when all the content is loaded except for some shitty ads?

yes, odd especially as the ads are usually constrained to iframes or images of a known size.

two words: adblock plus.

Just upgraded to 3.5.5 and now my awesome bar dropdown doesn't drop down when I click on it, this happen to anyone else? I click and I click and it just sits there, mocking me.

my bookmark toolbar has disappeared and i've tried three different online "fixes"

Fuck Firefox. I'm ready to move to a different browser. Any suggestions

firefox has been so fucky with me lately i just switched to chrome which seems fine

i really want to use chrome, but it's 4.5 and up and my joint is a 10.4.11

Anyone else having weird "Remember password" issues? FF 3.5.7 on Win7. I have the damn box checked in my options, but the second I'm logging into a site, it disappears. I think it has something to do with the fact that I unchecked the "Accept cookies" box (I've got my exceptions set up).

By "disappears," I mean the "Remember password" box gets unchecked. After I've actually logged in, it's checked again.

firefox has been mad crashy for me lately. maybe i will try chrome!

whiney just buy snow leopard, only $30 (or are you running on a powerpc mac)

do i need snow leopard, btw?

not really, just makes your mac a lil faster, and futureproofs you for the time being

i have never been able to use firefox w/ tiger, very slow and crashy
i don't think i will get a new OS until this computer dies though

oh i have 10.4.11 too. i use camino i dunno

now there's a word I haven't read in a long time

i really want to use chrome, but it's 4.5 and up and my joint is a 10.4.11

can't u up to 4.5 w/o paying? system update styles?

you can also try webkit (it's what safari is based on)

http://nightly.webkit.org/

why does everyone hate camino i don't get it

mozilla power, mac style if i recall correctly

I used to use camino back when I had a powerbook, but firefox's extensions + chrome's speed have made it redundant

yeah i mean i would be using firefox if it was not so slowwwwwwww on this thing

i used webkit a lot. it also locks up a lot but runs a lot better than safari did (for some reason reg safari was impossibly slow for me).

actually using webkit right now!

fyi i am running 10.5.8 and also had lots of issues w/ java stuff in firefox.

try chrome tehresa! or are you on a powerpc?

macbook
i am playing around with it some now.

is there a reason google's own browser doesn't come with a google search bar in the browser?
where do i add this?

the browser bar is the search bar

well then.
lol @ me!

how do i do that? i'm pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff sometimez

you can't, i think he meant chrome version, you meant mac os

Well, this is embarrassing.

Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.

sys prefs -> system update -> check for updates -> install
