You probably installed the version from the addon site, which due to how often YouTube changes their site, is way out of date. Install the developer version from here:

Anyone else having problems with Outlook.com in Firefox 40? Performance is terrible for me (actually performance isn't great across the board at the moment, not sure if it's an extension or the browser itself) and it takes ages to load messages in the reading pane.

Fuck the cowboys. Unf. Fuck em hard.
For anyone else who didn't see it, Firefox now has a tracking protection system built in: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tracking-protection-firefox
Set privacy.trackingprotection.enabled to true to enable it.

Abstract
—We present Tracking Protection in the Mozilla Firefox web browser. Tracking Protection is a new privacy technology to mitigate invasive tracking of users’ online activity by blocking requests to tracking domains. We evaluate our approach and demonstrate a 67.5% reduction in the number of HTTP cookies set during a crawl of the Alexa top 200 news sites. Since Firefox does not download and render content from tracking domains, Tracking Protection also enjoys performance benefits of a 44% median reduction in page load time and 39% reduction in data usage in the Alexa top 200 news sites.

This is significant! I might consider switching from Chrome if this ends up being a reliable feature. unlock has been great, but I feel that Mozilla can probably build something even better!

I have a similar problem. Performance has been terrible with Outlook.com and Amazon.com the past few Firefox versions.

Only in the sense that your browser already keeps your browsing history. Mozilla sends down ads to display if your history contains certain sites and your browser displays the matching ones, your history isn't sent to Mozilla.

Second a working alternative to flashblock?

Done, Outlook.com still barely works either in Safe Mode or with a new profile. Anyone else getting this on any version? I'm on 40, 64-bit.

Works with 38.0.1 EME free. No safe mode but also not to many special add-ons either. It is a lil' clunky on initial log in but it always was for me.

Same with Amazon.

Oddly though lately the SA forums sometimes will stall out while loading up. Refreshing the page 'fixes' it and everything loads up quickly afterwards so I don't really care. I'm not using SALR either.

Something probably broke. I noticed that HTML5 video doesn't get resized properly anymore so Google most likely made yet some more breaking changes that haven't been fixed in YTC yet.

It also fixes your tabs floating in the middle of the website until you resize the window if you use All-in-One Sidebar.

Won't somebody think of the starving hamsters in China?



I'm probably the only one or I would have seen this thread blow up, but for unknown reasons Firefox 38.0.1 started crashing on me multiple times per hour. Disabling addons did nothing, refreshing the profile did nothing, clean reinstall did nothing. I could not think of anything more sensible than to go back to 36.0.4 where mystery garbage like this doesn't happen.

Not happy with that, but a man's got to browse. I'll try 39 when it's out on the regular channel, I guess.

I've had the occasional crash before, but I'm talking about it increasing to this kind of frequency:



It's really odd. Something must have happened on the 28th, and I'm really willing to accept it's probably an update to an addon or something, except 36 isn't sensitive to it, even with the entire old profile re-imported, while a complete clean profile with all addons gone didn't fix it for 38. Video drivers already on the most recent ones I can get.

There don't seem to be any. Here's an example. They all seem to say pretty much the same thing as far as what's in that Crashing Thread table, but I really don't understand much of what any of the things mean.

Since your crash is in xul.dll it seems to be related to the user interface, I would typically blame this on a UI add-on. You're sure it is happening with a completely clean profile? It might also be a good idea to verify the system can pass a memory diagnostic, either Memtest86+ or the Windows Memory Diagnostic from Start, Search, Memory, though if you're only having issues in Firefox it probably isn't a RAM issue.

As clean as the refresh function leaves it. Not going to lie, I didn't go as far as manually creating a new profile because I forgot that was a thing.

Built-in memory diagnostic came back clean.

When I first enabled multiprocessing, things seemed much faster, but now everything feels a lot slower. Did something happen?
(Plus for whatever reason the attach button in online outlook is broken with multiprocessing on.)

I've disabled all my addons except noscript, mu block and greasemonkey, but that did nothing.

This might be one of the rare times that uninstalling Firefox, deleting the program directory, and installing fresh can help. Or there could be some bug, but I haven't been having crashes on Beta 38.0.5 or 39.

38.0.5 is scheduled to go live in a couple of days, I guess I can give it another shot then. Though the 36 install I'm using now has been really stable so far. So maybe I'll get away with simply upgrading. A couple of addons I'm using don't have proper options to export settings, which is a bitch.

Thanks for sticking uBlock in the thread title! I'm hoping it and NoScript get ported to Edge (along with Self-Destructing Cookies and a Flash downloader of some kind) however, as once Windows 10 is released I might ditch Firefox entirely.
