Does anyone else get a crash when they visit this link? http://www.economist.com/node/21560317/comments#comments I think its something to do with the opinion cloud on the right, but if I try and move the page before its fully loaded it crashes 50% of the time.

Whenever I follow a link to Vimeo, the page just loads with a screenshot of the video in the place where the player would be. I can get to the player by viewing the page source and copying the URL of the player itself into my address bar, so I can't figure out what's causing the issue. I tried with all of my addons disabled and still nothing. Fake edit: As I was typing this, I thought to try it in IE and I get the same problem. Is flash loving me again?

No crash for me on Waterfox 14. However I noticed that Ghostery allowed something from DoubleClick on it, which is weird. I've never seen Ghostery allow something before. edit - Somehow DoubleClick got taken off of Ghostery's blacklist without me knowing. Weird.

Is there a way through about:config or some other fuckery to disable select shortcuts? Hitting the Shift key when I press Ctrl-W (thus closing the whole window instead of just the tab) happens a little too often for my liking.

Possible good news: Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.271 is out and I haven't had screen tearing on the video since installing. I had to download it manually since Flash's autoupdate seems a lovely as the rest of the plugin, plus Firefox's plugin check site wasn't any more informative.

Not sure why this version would cure screen tearing, it was just a security update. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/release-note/enduser-release-notes-11_3.html

Well that update seems to lock my browser up on any flash content unless I now disable protected mode. Wouldn't be flash without it getting worse with every new version.

I literally ran into this problem tonight and was wondering what the hell that was making Firefox crash like that. Odd thing is that i haven't updated flash yet, but every time i try to load a site containing flash, firefox just freezes up and i have to kill it through taskmanager. Guess it won't hurt if i actually try to update the drat thing. Edit: Just installed the update and now everything seems to work again.

Is there any way to stop the text select blinker popping up whenever I click on a page? I can't scroll down with the arrow keys any more. Also, does anyone know why videos tend to load a tiny bit and then stop loading if you're not playing a video, and does it have something to do with the flash player plugin?

Now every time I full screen a video it launches a whole new tab for the video where the taskbar is hiding half the controls. Reinstalled flash and nada. Doesn't do it in IE/Chrome. Why do you do this to me firefox, I just want to love you. Please let me love you.

Facebook keeps breaking in a really weird way for me in Firefox. I was viewing a bunch of pictures, and suddenly I can't click on the buttons in the blue toolbar the top to drop down the list of recent notifications, messages, etc. I reset my Firefox profile and this fixed it (even if it was a bitch to fix my extension settings after). Everything was fine for a little bit, but now it did it again. If I start private browsing, it works fine, but the moment I stop private browsing Facebook is broken. I tried completely clearing my history (Cache, Cookies, Logons, Site Preferences) etc. No go. Any other suggestions?

I noticed that too, though I don't get a new tab - Flash only gets a taskbar entry. Tearing and other annoyances still present and accounted for.

Is there a fix for embedded videos stealing focus and refusing to relinquish it? Any time I play an embedded video, not just Youtube, I have to switch tabs and switch back in order to scroll with arrows/page down/spacebar. And let's not forget where the FF window loses its active status drat near every time I load a new page.

I set Mozilla to ask me whether it can save cookies for a given site. I clicked "allow" for Facebook, and Mozilla put an Allow exception for https://www.facebook.com into its exception list. Facebook apparently doesn't like that and when I added "*.facebook.com" to the exception list it started working again.

Another day, another Flash update. This one gets a bump to 11.4, so it's more likely to contain fixes to the recent spate of Flash bullshit. I don't see the release notes posted yet so I don't know what it includes. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Those on Aurora/Nightly should note that there's now a potentially hefty thumbnails-old subfolder in your profile folder (mine was 1.3GB) as a result of fixing this bug. This seems to indicate it'll be automatically wiped in a future release.

I just got firefox 15, and for some reason, the tabs have lost half their height on my theme (Aero Improved). Is this an option somewhere for tiny rear end tabs that is getting set, or could someone recommend another color neutral / matching theme (the default windows 7 one is a shade of blue that only works with the default window color)

If anyone is running Firefox on a Windows 8 install, it currently has a bug that makes fonts render blurry to different degrees, that changes when you move the mouse near text/click links/highlight text.

The Burning Edge has a good summary of the new features, fixes, and changes in Firefox 17, which appears to be available as an Aurora build now. Standard disclaimer applies: this may not be the build that gets blessed as Aurora 17, your mileage may vary until a release on the official website, back up your profile before trying a new version (or maybe even make a new profile).

I'm currently using the Pale Moon 32bit build, and I'm wondering two things: 1. Is it okay to move up to 64bit now? Will I have any compatibility issues, and is it worth the effort 2. Is there a general consensus on which variant of Firefox is the best? Of Blazing Fast, Pale moon, and Waterfox? Thanks!

I just updated to Firefox 15 (OS X) and can't figure out how to disable the new rounded Chrome-style tabs. They don't play well with TreeStyleTabs. I didn't see anything obvious in about :config and found nothing useful on Google.

xsDaniel posted:I'm currently using the Pale Moon 32bit build, and I'm wondering two things: Waterfox is a better 64 bit build than Pale Moon 64 bit since the Pale Moon guys put little effort into optimizing their 64 bit build. You will not have any compatibility issues unless you're still using arcane outdated plugins like Macromedia Shockwave (not Flash). Also there's no "effort" to it, you simply install the new program and get 64 bit flash/java/silverlight and you're done. And claims of it being "slower" are pretty much bullshit, if you have a 64 bit system anywhere near recent, like a Core i5 from the generation that was before Sandy Bridge or a Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge Core i3; any "slowness" will only show up on meaningless benchmarks not daily browsing.
