cooked Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 try starting Firefox without addons (safe mode) and see if things are ok. If they are you will then have to disable one addon after another to see if the problem is there. I had to get rid of Ghostery after the last update, things were then ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klikster Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yes, my FF 3.** went nuts a couple of days ago, although I have "no updates" turned on. I did not recently add any addons, although I have a few. I have been seeing warnings on lots of sites warning about my version of FF not being compatible .. it is. I see what I want to see just fine. It keeps crashing, asking if I want to send a report. I'm also pretty fed up with Chrome not letting me use google.com and instantaneously reverting to .th. I may switch to IE. Maybe I'll try Safari. How do I tell the idiots that I know what I'm doing and to just leave me the f*** alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifer Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Have used Firefox since the first edition. Never a problem, ever. Sometimes it takes another update before my add-ons work, but no big deal. I don''t mix and match browsers, or use two at the same time. Hate Microsoft internet explorer, so never open it. But no problems with firefox. On the Beta channel.

Tywais Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Ahhh .. I did get a flash update a few days ago. Thanks, MJCM. Interesting enough and that is release 13.0.1 main purpose was to correct for Adobe Flash crashes. What release # did FF update to? http://securitygarde...sses-adobe.html http://securitygarde...es-firefox.html Seems it is the Adobe protected mode that may been an issue. Might try setting ProtectMode = 0 in Flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I've been using FF a long time. I had history, bookmarks etc going back ages. Somewhere around FF 10 anything with stored data went goofy, like they re-wrote the database. Eg deleting 20 entries from History took several minutes, which normally takes seconds. I'd been keeping the whole profile dir, and things always adjusted to new releases, and I have lots of add-ins. But this time I had to restore personal data from a backup. Since then things are back to normal. Maybe if someone has been updating since the sigle-digit releases at some point they may have to re-install to adapt to the later releases. I've learned to hack the add-in files to keep FF from complaining, and only 1 or 2 of them failed to run in the higher releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klikster Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'm actually a 3.6.28. Even the admins here sneer at 3.xxx FF. But I have tried a few of the newer versions but they just don't do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWalkingMan Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Interesting enough and that is release 13.0.1 main purpose was to correct for Adobe Flash crashes. Yep. That Adobe Flash problem did me in a few days ago. Googling pointed the finger at FF for not properly updating 13.0.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomSand Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Firefox 13.0.1 seems to have fixed the Flash issue although I did make sure to create a backup of my profiles* & add-ons via Mozbackup beforehand. * Multiple Firefox profiles: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I consider Chrome and Firefox to be the best browsers available. I'm glad we have a choice between two great products. That doesn't mean that they don't have problems. I am now back using Firefox as my default browser because Chrome got glitchy on me. I had recently changed from Firefox to Chrome for that same reason. It appears, at least to me, that a new version of either browser works great for a few weeks then it starts having problems. And, yes, I do clean the catche and once in a while delete ALL my cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
