So if you last read page 14 of a thread after reading 1-13 it removes 1-13? ..or is that what you have in the .txt file?

It's the SH/SC free antivirus choice due to its tight integration into Windows and its habit of not breaking the networking stack.

Is that *actually* XP you're running in classic mode? No offense but I'm guessing that's why you're so attached to FF of yesteryear. You're not alone, mind you, I used to change XP to classic until I got used to the "normal" XP start menu. I'm rather fond of the Vista/7 implementation too. Couldn't imagine doing it in classic.

I have no idea what it is I'm looking at, but it works for me in Firefox 8.whatever. Maybe uninstall Flash and delete all remnants and reinstall?

Interestingly enough, I've been having way more issues with Flash around the time that 8 or 9 rolled out. I'm just kinda riding it out since at least now that Flash is a separate process at least I don't have to deal with all of Firefox dying.

Sprite141 posted:For flash crashing firefox 7? I'm sorry, but I don't see it. If it was a separate process it should have only crashed that process, not all of firefox. He means that 25 is greater than 4. You're running 3.6.25, not 3.6.2.5; don't feel too badly about it because originally I made the same disconnect and thought 3.6.25 was older than 3.6.4

Since we're on a Firefox whine session I figured I'd toss my hat in the ring- Does anyone have this happen to them? When resuming my laptop from suspend, Firefox greys out and doesn't respond for what feels like forever. It varies between a minute or two all the way up to 5-10 minutes. I don't recall if there's a correlation between number of open tabs -vs- load times because I haven't made an effort to check. If I launch TaskMan I can watch Firefox slowly ramp up its RAM usage and once it stops growing, Firefox starts to work. Is Firefox doing something heavy on Disk I/O that could cause this? This laptop has a crappy HDD. Dell D430 80GB 4200 RPM Toshiba HDD (sadly it's a 1.8" w/ ZIF connection so I can't upgrade) 2GB DDR2 (Maxed out) C2D U7600 at a blazing fast 1.2GHz For what it's worth, I have a ton of tabs open at the moment but 95% of them are Craigslist posts and some static job posting sites. One tab was Gliffy but I force closed all the plugin-container processes and Firefox still didn't come back up for quite a while.

At the very least, use Google Public DNS, they actually intend for it to be used by the seething unwashed masses. What's the harm in using a root server? Isn't it meant to be hit constantly as well? I switched to the Google DNS entries (which were already in there, just in slots 2 and 3).

Alereon posted:You probably have old/bad video drivers. Firefox uses GPU acceleration for compositing and layers (unlike other browsers that use the CPU), in addition to Flash using it for video decoding and display. Try updating to the latest drivers provided by your graphics manufacturer. Is this only true for later gen cards? I'm running a 7950GT in my daily driver with the latest drivers from Nvidia (and dealing with a world of issues that I won't get into here)

Alereon posted:I'm pretty sure they can still do hardware accelerated compositing of Layers using Direct3D/OpenGL (depending on platform) on older hardware assuming the driver isn't blocklisted. Hardware accelerated Direct2D rendering (where most of the performance and image quality gains come from) requires Vista SP2 or later and I THINK a DX9.0C videocard, but I'm not precisely sure where the cutoff is. I know it's blocked on some lower-end products (especially older Intel integrated graphics) that are capable of supporting it because the hardware is so crappy it's faster to just do it in software. Hmm. Well, I disabled hardware acceleration in Flash and Youtube stopped sucking so until I figure out what's going on I'll just leave it alone.

Dice Dice Baby posted:The GeForce 7 series doesn't really possess DXVA, so video decoding will be done on your processor, maybe you still have the Direct2D acceleration, but I can't vouch for that Yeah, that's what I'd determined myself a while back because I can't take advantage of GPU decoding on HD video either.
