Are there any decent cloud bookmarking services nowadays? Google Bookmarks manages to still be terrible, and I don't really care for Firefox sync.

You'd think someone'd make "just sync with Firefox bookmarks, your own interface is terrible." Google sort of did this once upon a time, but has since discontinued it. They also have a terrible web interface. No, you don't need to confirm EVERY bookmark deletion and only allow deleting one bookmark at a time, just provide an undo or a trash.

The only way I can get Sync to work fine is to just push the bookmarks one way from a base machine to my laptop. Of course that means I have to manually save book mark files from a flash drive if I want to take them home from the laptop, but hey-- better than using Sync's lovely merging feature.

Can anyone tell me what this means in Aurora 20: "Ability to close hanging plugins, without the browser hanging" is listed as a new feature. But out-of-process-plugins has been there since Firefox 3.6.4 in June 2010. Is WattsvilleBlues missing something?

Aleksei Vasiliev posted:What do you mean by this? Because I'm pretty sure it doesn't. If I don't view a tab for a while, and I'm guessing this is just tabs that don't have any active/updating content, it will automatically refresh when I go to that tab again. It unloads whatever was in that tab (so I can't see what was there before), which is my biggest issue with it. If this isn't a common thing, maybe it's because I have a lot of tabs open? ~100, normally.

Could sometimes take up to a minute to do that, which was annoying.

There's currently a 45 second timeout while Firefox waits for Flash to respond before killing it, during which the entire browser hangs. The change is to display a prompt informing you that Flash has hung (much earlier than 45 seconds), and not blocking the browser.

Maybe an extension is unloading them?

I see this on my work PC, but I'm not sure if it's caused by low ram & lots of tabs (3GB and 100ish), or by a session with 100 + tabs being restored, and not all being loaded till I click on them.

Can someone tell me which setting causes this? On my old Firefox profile, which I've had since (I think) the days of Firefox 3. My tabs and toolbars pick up their colour from the Windows theme, which I rather like. I do not have any custom themes or personas installed and the Firefox window changes colour with the Windows 8 colour scheme. On my new Firefox profile, the tabs are grey, only the very background picks up my windows colour settings. This is what my old profile looks like compared to the new one: vs I'd love to get that setting back. It's the only thing stopping me from actually running on a freshly reset profile.

Is anyone else experiencing weird issues with 18.0.1? It runs fine the first few minutes of browsing, then it becomes slow to respond. For instance, if I click on 'Bookmarks', it takes a 3-count for the menu to open up. I have all of two add-ons loaded -- Adblock Plus and Xmarks. I've tried resetting to default state and that hasn't helped. I have 16 GB of RAM and it doesn't look like Firefox is using more than 1 GB at any given time.

Follow the instructions in the OP (pay attention to the sections where you create a new profile).

I haven't created a new profile since probably FF 12 or earlier. Keep in mind that the people posting in this thread are the ones having the issues. If FF is working just fine, there's probably no reason for you to post. For every person that posts in this thread with an issue, there are probably 1000 without any issue.

For every person that posts in this thread with an issue, there are probably 1000 without any issue. Fair enough - I don't mean to come across unappreciative. My frustration level is a bit high with Firefox right now as for the past 12 months I have had consistent Firefox performance issues across multiple PCs with varying hardware and software configurations. The solution that works always seems to be create a new profile - which is a fair solution that works until a few weeks into an updated version when the performance problems creep up again. I've created a new profile at least 10 times in the past year, which at least experientially points to...something? I guess I'm hoping for a silver bullet that isn't 'create a new profile'?

I don't know about the rest but slow Bookmarks in Firefox 18 is because of hardware acceleration. Turn it off in the Options and it'll be fast like in previous versions.

The common theme here is you (or rather, something you're doing with Firefox), so figure out what that special, weird thing you do is, and then either stop doing it or file a report in bugzilla.

It's also a fun and exciting way to discover the joys of crashing your computer with excessive swappiness, but Firefox handles being killed and revived quite well so vOv.

If I follow the instructions in the OP to reset my profile, will I have to re-set-up Firefox Sync, as well? The UI is so crap, I cannot tell if sync is still sunc or not.

Standish posted:Try setting ui.use_native_colors in about :config Nope, nor is it browser.display.use_system_colors or browser.display.use_focus_colors I don't know if the fact that I use the Tab Utilities extension has anything to do with it, but I exported the settings from that and brought them into the new profile.

After a year of flash video being hosed up for me (creating separate windows / not covering the taskbar anymore, etc) I finally realized what was causing it: Window's personalized display, anything over 125% (was using 140% on an HTPC setup) would cause all the problems, scaled it all the way down to 126% and still caused it, put it to 125% and fixes everything. Weird.

What's the name of that tool which removes unwanted locales info from your extensions? It was two .exe files (one for 7zip.exe, or something) which you placed in your extensions folder and it went through your extensions, unzipping them to remove the locales then re-zipping them. I've been googling for this thing for ages I first came across it on a korean website. The exe. name is something like hotfixest.exer or something. My memory lets me down again.

Now that there's support for h.264 (on Windows) is there some trick to getting YouTube to use the html5 player whenever possible? I joined the html5 trial but it didn't seem to have any impact at all. I still get "click to enable flash" when watching a video.
