You have lots of shitty ads though.

I don't.

orly?

 

[danzigrules]

so whats the trick to get adsweep to work with chrome, since it doesn't work with the newest dev that you end up with while following the directions.

Do you use a custom font size?
check in the desktop personalize screen.

It ain't as easy. You have to do something like --enabledevelopermode or some shit to the target shortcut icon and then you can install extensions or something... It's a lot more difficult that going to Add-ons in Firefox and searching for Adblock and then install...

That's not much more difficult.

It's your punishment for using a vertical taskbar.

 

[Adul]

try blowing away your FF profile and make a new one.

100 per page works fine here as said.

I have 3.5 and I don't get that problem, but I agree, FF3.5 does suck.

Firefox 3.5 doesn't just suck. Half the time it has dns fails. Internet Explorer, Opera, etc do not have this problem at all. What gives.

 

[hclarkjr]

i am running the latest firefox and get none of the troubles listed here. runs great for me

 

[Krazy4Real]

I'm not having those issues at all with firefox.

 

[Electric Amish]

No issues here. FF 3.5.5

troll troll troll your boat. I don't see how Firefox has any affect on DNS lookups, if a DNS lookup is going to fail for Firefox it's also going to fail for any other application. Do you think Mozilla ships a caching DNS client just so they can use it with Firefox when they can use the one made available by the OS it's running on?

You mean like this one? http://jelmer.jteam.nl/2006/11/04/disabling-the-firefox-dns-cache/

That's not quite the same thing, unless the bug is such that the cache retains an invalid entry I don't see how that relates to DNS queries failing. The proper data has to be loaded into the cache for it to work properly to begin with.

If he opens up FF and attempts to find google.com FF is going to check to see if it already knows it, if it doesn't it's going to ask the OS. If the OS returns a failed query how is that the responsibility of FF?

The way the problem was explained(if you can call it that) doesn't indicate a fault in FF, it indicates a fault in either the DNS resolver in his OS or in his ISP.

 

[Spooner]

mine works fine... odd...

 

[oiprocs]

The peeps here that complain about firefox:

Are you using 3.5?
Do you have noscript and adblock add-ons?

I'm curious. All this bloating and whatnot, I've never seen. BUT, I could imagine having that if you didn't have those 2 add-ons.

 

[RoloMather]

whatever

 

[aigomorla]

WOW never seen so much hate on different browsers.

cant we all get along? :X

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

hmm... pretty sure i posted in this thread before the vb migration.

 

[Fox5]

Yeah, I tried to go back to FF lately and I hate it. It just seems bloated and uncomfortable to use.

I don't know, I like IE now. It does what I need it to do. It's the same reason I dropped Linux after XP was released. Microsoft finally started getting its act together.

You used linux prior to XP? While I'll say the stability of a linux platform over 9x was very nice, Linux really wasn't ready for general desktop use back in 2000 or before.
No decent browser, unless you wanted to pay for Opera.

Openoffice 1.0 was pretty horrid.

The driver support was even more horrid than it is now.

Ugly, ugly dawn of X GUI that made windows 98 look good.

No flash (not that the year 2000 Internet was over loaded with it yet).

The best package management system was the horrible RPM. And no one used it anyway, so you were stuck with .tar.gz, possibly even just source code.

And probably a general lack of many critical tools.

If you could happily use Linux as it was in the 90s, I can't see any reason you'd have gone to Windows.
