Has anyone else had problems in the last few days with Twitter on Firefox? It simply refuses to render some pages suddenly, and will not until I restart Firefox. On Chrome, the same urls (user's streams, searches, and single tweets) work perfectly. This has only happened in the last couple of days. Also Firefox takes a long time, close to a minute (haven't actually checked with a stopwatch, but it is a lot longer than usual), to shut down when I encounter this.

Is the seperate search box adjacent to the address field something that should be able to be added in with an extension? I hate the chrome style omnibar and fail to see what advantages it offers over a an address field with search capabilities supplemented by a search box It's not like I'm resistant to UI changes either, I've used Firefox as my primary browser since 0.9 and I've pretty much instantly liked all the other major changes. They should at least give people the loving choice.

Is there an iPhone Firefox app, or a decent approximation? I'd like one that could sync with my desktop browser. Also, is there an add-on that adds a button for settings to your toolbar? Pain in the arse having to go to tools > settings every time I want to tweak something.

Apple forbids third-party browsers, so short of wrapping a slower version of Mobile Safari with a Firefox skin like Chrome, there's no way to do it.

Try the Mercury browser, it lets you sync your bookmarks with Firefox from your computer.

I'm in the same boat as you. I hope someone can put together a decent search box if they really are stupid enough to remove it. I've checked chrome but the only search boxes I can find are drop-down boxes that aren't quite the same.

I haven't had anything serious to edit in the OP in a while. Do you guys have any recommendations for changes to the OP to keep it current?

I've never found use for search boxes, but that's me coming from Opera where you had keyword searches within address bar. Thankfully Firefox supports keyword searches too so the only thing I had to do was removing the search box when I started using Firefox

I like setting browser.search.openintab to true in about:config so when I use the Search Bar it opens a new tab when I search

I like the flexibility of the stock behavior. You can hit Alt-Enter to open the URL or search string in a new tab, or just the regular Enter to use the current tab.

Don't know if this is specific Firefox issue, but does anyone have problems with twitch.tv streams having volume bar at 50% every time you open new stream, it used to save your settings. Quick test with Chrome kept the volume bar where I set it even when I switched to a new stream. I tried clearing twitch cookies but that didn't change anything. This started about a week or two ago, before that it worked just fine.

Um, I'm having a bit of a problem with Firefox. For some reason, the default search engine switched from Google to Norton SafeSearch. I tried googling for a solution, but none of them work. I've tried: -Resetting Firefox. Didn't change anything. -Uninstalling Norton Toolbar--well, I searched for it and I'm fairly sure I never installed it in the first place. -Altering program.URL. I see in about.config that I have keyword.enabled but not keyword.URL for some reason? ...Help?

Wasn't Firefox supposed to have some sort of feature where it would tell you if a third party tried to install a search tool or change search preferences?

Really annoying issue i've been having with Firefox, seems to be after last major update: if I'm in Firefox and click over to another program, say a Word document, Firefox will often pop back up on the screen a few seconds later. Sometime it switches over and doesn't even fully display on the screen. It may take several seconds for it to happen. It's like windows that aren't maximized refresh on top of what i'm looking at. I tried disabling all add-ons and no help. Using version 23.0.1 on WinXP. Any ideas?

Sometimes its in a system folder and the plugin is installed in firefox through the registry; when that's the case you have to open regedit look in HKLM\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins to find the culprit WinXP is kinda temperamental with its rendering, I have a similar issue using two monitors and it's especially noticeable when coming out of standby, you can try changing gfx.direct2d.disabled in about :config (altough I'm not entirely sure if that's the configuration you want to change) Dice Dice Baby fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Sep 8, 2013 |

WattsvilleBlues posted:Wasn't Firefox supposed to have some sort of feature where it would tell you if a third party tried to install a search tool or change search preferences? keyword.url which is what it checked was removed in V23. I believe the default now is that the location bar will use whatever search is listed in the searchbar. Eventually they want you to use keywords to choose different engines. I believe he was talking about the about :home page, which you could change the search by modifying user.js and prefs.js I had a similar problem a year ago, took me forever to figure it out.

Cyberfox is a new 64-bit build of Firefox 23.0.1 optimized for Intel processors. They also have an AMD-optimized version.

Seems to work pretty well, at least the intel version.

Is there an addon or greasemoney script that can disable gifs from loading and give it a click-to-play function like with youtube videos? An example is how http://9gag.com/ does it with their gifs, I want this but for all sites that show gifs.

That aside, here's the Sunspider comparison between regular Firefox's latest stable release and the latest release of Cyberfox on my computer code:

ringu0 posted:Pause Animated GIFS in Firefox and IE This will stop animations but I want it to stop gifs from loading, more of a bandwidth saver/loading pages quicker when lots of gifs are posted. With that setting switched to none, it still seems that pages loads very slowly with lots of gifs posted.

Im_Special posted:Is there an addon or greasemoney script that can disable gifs from loading and give it a click-to-play function like with youtube videos? This works by them having a static image that get's replaced by the actual gif when you click on it. There is probably no add-on that does what you want.

Crap. It looks like an Aurora update has half-broken an add-on that I occasionally use to archive threads. I'm not quite crazy/stupid enough to downgrade, but is there an easy way to run two different installs of Firefox?

You shouldn't really have any problems, even if you were to ditch Aurora completely and go back to Firefox Beta, or Firefox releases. Worst case you can restore the profile folder.

Is there a way to go back to how the address bar used to be where it always shows the current website's URL? Now it has 'search or enter address' instead of the URL and it makes linking poo poo annoying.
