I know this isn't a tech support forum, but has anyone else had issues with random freezing since the update? Firefox 6 has been randomly "not responding" and then coming back after about 10-15 seconds, the perpetuity is annoying.

I've tried disabling all of my add-ons, accessing bookmarks from something other than the bar, and reinstalling FF5 (clean wipe), and nothing. Hope it's just me and not Firefox, because I'll be losing my favorite browser.

Open Windows Task Manager and check your system handles under performance. It was around 17000 before the update and it eventually reached 320000 and my computer is slow as hell.
Goddamn automatic update. I am reverting.

edit: Slowdown solved.

How do I get Firefox to automatically remove every downloaded file tab on the bottom of the screen? It only does that with pictures.

The only problem I have with FF and if it is its fault, I get some kernel error that shuts off the monitor until I exit the browser.

Is anyone getting tabs that flash the gently caress out and randomly switch spaces? It is only a visual thing when I have a bunch of tabs open. The tabs are still in their correct order.

Hotmail was the earliest instance of this after that update where the icon won't fill in anymore and opens automatically.

Is there a bind script to more quickly alt+shift+D bookmarks to replace existing ones? Replace Bookmarks isn't really accurate.

I max my browser because there is less scrolling involved. You can only do so much with mouse scrolling.

I cleaned out my computer and this Firefox update is sucking up so much memory. I would rather turn it back.

It uses up more than 150% (almost 2 mil) of memory usage when I open my daily tabs, compared to the last build. I also need to restart the browser to stop the stuttering. I did get rid of several add-ons.

Starting a new profile is such a bitch. Might need an add-on to help.

How do I move the address bar on the same line as my tabs? The Firefox icon is half sized, but I can ignore that.

I started having problems with that with 28. Like you I hadn't seen that happen in a while and then it just started happening a few weeks back. Our problems may not be related, of course.

I've been getting more crashes as well (also starting with 28). I may have solved this one by disabling an addon but we'll see what happens.

Keep me updated. It is crashing like crazy for me.

I don't know why Firefox is randomly turning off a certain add-on. Maybe turning off stuff is causing the crashings?

I got those crashes every day (in ff28 and ff29) and the developer version definitely fixed it for me. Not a single crash in a week.

I still crash often enough to the point I want to install this and see if it matters. Just crashed twice when I was typing. gently caress.

Firefox issues are usually down to corrupt profiles. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't normally remove the profile. Try resetting the profile you're using now (see the OP) and see how you get on.

I did a couple different things with that idea and it still crashed often. Add-ons did not matter. The crashing was made even worse and I restored the old stuff. The only thing I can do is close out the tabs after a crash and bring them back on.

I only seem to have issues when pages like this load up. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3712602&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 The Resident Evil Revelations 2 LP.

Is my PC exploding, or is 56.0 a giant pile of garbage? Youtube tabs are slow, text is sort of slow to appear and I'm getting this insane problem where going to a page from the address bar sometimes doesn't load, but a link/bookmark to the same URL works fine.

This site is loading terribly so, but if I keep clicking the same link, the pages sometimes load faster. Must be some add-on.

The few pages that loaded faster in 57 now load just as fast in 56 and I kept my old functionality. The update was almost worth the annoyance.

Don't know if it's been answered the past few pages but Foxy Gestures and Context Search take care of two of your issues.

Foxy doesn't have one for bookmarks or I can't find it. What a strange thing to lack.

I disabled updates yesterday and it STILL upgraded to 57, somebody shoot me.

and because I was a lazy poo poo and stuck with noscript instead of switching to umatrix, I have to figure out all the scripts I need to block all over again.

I kept installing an older version until it stuck.

Is it normal for 57 to open multiple instances in the processes of task manager? It used less memory than ESR, but ran firefox four times and added to more usage of memory than before.

If you recently switched to Firefox and don't have a collection of add-ons.

pretty sure google is on top of the "data amount on people" list tho, cause they just take *all* the data off of anroid phones.

and apple isn't as high only because they have less market share

It seems like a weird power grab to become the biggest collector and seller of other people's data and treating them like garbage. Add to that the overwhelming urge to scan the history of people who say wrong things on your products and have their various accounts and stuff locked forever. Microsoft.

The browser is incredibly fast so far. I have to applaud them for making a noticeable speed boost, unless it really was from knocking out a few add-ons.
