firefox is funny. It's overall slower than IE and overall takes up much more memory over-time. is there a fix for this? i'll have 2 tabs open and the program starts up with 20-30m of ram usage. 30 minutes later its at 90.

So I downloaded Opera...


Runs great. Seems to be fast. Until this...


I went to eBay and entered in nevada test site. There was a photo of the Able 2 detonation for sale I click on it and get this...

What gives? Opera made out of the US?

interesting. i have a MacBook and just in the past two weeks Firefox has started to go a little schizo. i've been using Safari more and more, even though i hate the friggin popups.

I'm betting whatever the latest build is the problem. I've really had no issues at all with it until a couple of weeks ago.

 

[archosman]

Here's the other thing that popped up a couple of weeks ago as well. See the graphic bar?

Weird...

^ that could be a display issue. Did you try mimizing firefox and then maximizing it?

 

[archosman]

Yes. no difference.

Camino has become my browser of choice these days. As much as I love Safari, Camino is just better. Although there is some stuff that I hate about it.

firefox is a universal binary right? some apps deemed "universal" wich the source can compile to whatever S you want, are still coded aimed at a certain S and its faults. this is why digidesign writes protools for macs, and emulates alot of the binaries on PC. use something made for mac. like the default browser (wich i think is badass with unofficial CSS3.0 support )

I hear you, but my issue is I've had virtually no problems with it at all until recently... and I've been using it for a loong time.
