have u tried clearing cache/deleting cookies?
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 02:35 (twelve years ago) link
there's an interesting plugin that I use that converts FF to IE (for pages that can only load in IE)

but I don't know why https://gmail.com wouldn't load in FF. works fine on the old versionsmaybe you accidentally blocked it on noscript? i dunno
― stop listening to the lyrics so much. you're ruining music (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 02:41 (twelve years ago) link
I clear the cache regularly (this laptop is old as hell and going through Google Reader makes FF bog down, and clearing the cache fixes that problem), but not cookies.
BUT! it seems like typing in "https," which I tried before, without success, worked this time. So: tentative hoorah!
I am going to clear cookies.

Maybe that will take care of that URL problem. The word "cookies" made me want one, so I'm going to clear my cache and cookies while I go to Potbelly to get a sandwich and a cookie.

I'd google search IE Tab plugin just for the hell of it. It's a pretty cool plugin
― stop listening to the lyrics so much. you're ruining music (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 02:46 (twelve years ago) link
I have had that plugin for a while.

I'm still running 3.6.20Is there any reason to upgrade?It works perfectly atm
me too but i think its seen its last security update so keep an eye outpeople got problems with their new update schedule and one of their top guys has been a dick about it, their whoa radical new version scheme (they're gonna 'get rid of' version numbers shortly) and design changes are all about biting chrome for no good reason, they're putting cool stuff in in but the effects on the user experience doesnt seem to concern them atm

ff7 beta's out with the emphasis on speed. but sod that if 6 still has problems with my favoured plugins. (tbh they are all working now but a few of them i had to manually update)
firefox 6 appears to lack the ability to remember where the iplayer pop-out player used to be

FF5? FFS more like
Releasing new rounded-off numbered versions this fast only leads to inflation of anticipation, annoying the hell out of people who use a lot of add-ons, like me. It becomes really confusing for a lot of users. Maybe the only solution is to turn off auto-update and just dive in a new version when it's completely tested out and with all add-ons working. I am on FF6 now, but basically this will probably mean I will always stay one version behind the newest version.

seems like some huge entries from juno.co.uk are in the memory cache.. haven't visited in days though - how to clear?
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 15:57 (twelve years ago) link
restart firefox? it can't hold things in memory if it isn't running... (although it might write them to disk)
― koogs, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 15:58 (twelve years ago) link
cache-viewer add-in is also handy, lets you see and delete (or save) individual entries.
― koogs, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 15:59 (twelve years ago) link
i've restarted it several times since i visited juno
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 16:00 (twelve years ago) link
i will try cache viewer, chuckling inwardly at the idea of adding another plugin to suss out why ff is using so much RAM
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 16:01 (twelve years ago) link
Just go to Tools> Clear recent history > and select only "Cache" from the list of things to clear.

Whoa...
Admittedly, I have 24 tabs open. But still...

FF6, 31 tabs, 970k + plugin container 85k. Lol.
― Vaginalogue Bubblebath (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:24 (twelve years ago) link
Why do you all have so many tabs open????
― weakness for Cinnabon; rampant heterosexuality (Je55e), Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:31 (twelve years ago) link
What else to do with them? I frequently visit all of them, nearly daily. It feels silly to bookmark them and open them manually every single day. Then there's links I stumble upon every day, open to read later etc.
Btw, the 970k Firefox is ridiculously lol hueg, but it doesn't noticeably slow my pc.
― Vaginalogue Bubblebath (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:37 (twelve years ago) link
...but you have to click on the tabs manually?
― zvookster, Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:39 (twelve years ago) link
i mean u can just put a bookmark button on a toolbar
Yeah, I suppose I could. I'm not saying my way is best, not at all, just explaining how I use FF. One new feature that has proven to be useful is the "pin as app tab" thing, which basically the same thing.

ya as a general rule i keep gmail, grooveshark, ilx, fb, and tweetdeck open all day & running, and in turn those 5 generate stuff for me to open in even more new tabs throughout the day
― *steens furiHOOSly* (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Thursday, 25 August 2011 22:03 (twelve years ago) link
At work this week I've had 5-10 tabs open at any given time. At home, 4 in one set and maybe 6 or 7 others in a "someday" set.
I feel agitated having this many open, though that is changing as I realize that how I use my browser is changing.
Anyway, 10 seems like a lot to me, and 20+ would make me freak out.
― weakness for Cinnabon; rampant heterosexuality (Je55e), Thursday, 25 August 2011 23:20 (twelve years ago) link
Sometimes (maybe four times a year) I get to 30 and chuck a massive closing fit.

God I never have anymore than 5-6 tabes open at once, and thats at work where half of them are work related pages. Gmail's the only permanently-opened tab I really leave.
I've stuck with FF3.X on work and home machines. I'm not running into any problems at all. The only weird one now is at work, upgraded to Acrobat 9 and now FF randomly crashes when I try to open some PDFs.
