Andrew Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Tab mix plus does look good. Odd how no one has reported this issue on his website/forum.You can get nightly tester tools extension to make it work for now. :/I use tabbrowser preferences.Tab mix plus seems more up to date. Will probably switch when a new version comes out for the beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Well, i got the security fix but now it won't let me connect to any server. I have to use IE now to surf the net (yeek!). I miss tabs :-(Anybody know why my firefox stopped working after the update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Firewall detected a changed app, and popped up asking for permission to access web, and your young sister/daughter clicked "no", not knowing what it was ? :PHard to say. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Nah, I disabled my firewall since it interfered with the router I have. This sucks, I hope it's back to normal in the next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Have you tried safemode ? I think there was a shortcut for that somewhere in start menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Yea, that was the second thing I tried. Alas, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 And alas, it works. I disabled web filtering with the firewall that I "didn't have anymore" and it worked afterwards. Dunno if that did it, but I'm just happy it's back :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erjin999 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Problems ? What problems ? For a day or so, one person couldnt access his browser, and then sorted out what seems to be a problem with the firewall. Thats gonna scare em !? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erjin999 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thats cute.I think there is a tabmixplus that is compatible with the newest FF, so having updated to that I will now wait for the auto update feature to kick in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Firefox updated, and Andrew didnt give me advanced warning ? Whats going on ? Any ideas anyone ? :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I noticed it was updated yesterday evening. Sorry I didn't inform everyone :PI didn't know in advance they were updating it. It didn't seem to be that big of an update.Funny, they always have Improvements to product stabilityAlong with any security fixes. They never state what they did to improve the product stability. Almost makes me think it is a marketing gimmick (but then I checked previous releases, and not all have had product stability improvements).

erjin999 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 All my extensions work, so its all good. ;)No news on IE7 ?I have seen some IE6's with tabbed browsing, probably from some of those tool bars flying around...Also, I finally got Flashgot and getright, man they rock.

Andrew Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Oh look! IE7 has tabs! Too bad tabs will have came out >2 years ago when Vista is released. Same for RSS. They say they are incorporating it into everything, but the time Vista is released something could have surpassed RSS for all we know.As long as anyone can fully uninstall/install IE7 when Vista comes out and it's not tied into the OS (like it is in previous windows), I'm sure that will make everyone happy.Yah they changed Firefox extension thingy so that any plugin should work across all 1.5.0.x version.I think it will break at 1.5.x or so, depending on the extension.

erjin999 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I hope it doesnt break in future versions, its so annoying waiting for nice people who contribute excellent extensions to find the time to make them work again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Well, there is an extension that allows any extension to work.http://users.blueprintit.co.uk/~dave/web/firefox/buildid/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 So is it some kind of inteface layer ? Might follow the link if my internet access speeds up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Not sure. It allows the extensions to work (my guess is bump up the allowed version number of the extension so it works with any new firefox, although the plugin might not work correctly if it is not supposed to.)

Andrew Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I've noticed this for some time, but running firefox uses 100% CPU when pages are loading. It makes browsing a pain to do between tabs (I like to have 2-10 tabs open when checking sites a frequent), and changing between tabs when a page is loading is really slow, pretty much has to wait for the page to load before I can switch to any tab.Think I'm gonna have to uninstall and install again. Got 10 extensions running, could be one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Yeah, it might be worth a try, it works ok for me. I have had it go to 100% becuase of RA's E:BFD Whos Online Page, which autoreloads. After a while (hour or so) it would go to 100% CPU, and so the game would slow down.I kept FF open so I could minimise emp and see what was going on. Havent had that problem for ages though.
