Re: Firefox 4
yes but Mozilla can add a backwards compatibility feature. It will solve all the problems in 1 go.

Re: Firefox 4
Does windows program compatibility for each application in the world separate? of course not. They use 1 compatibility mode system. That is what I'm suggesting. Put a little checkbox in the options stating "run addons in FF3.6 mode".Stuart wrote:For every addon available for the browser?

Re: Firefox 4
Ster Kinekor website(http://www.sterkinekor.com/site.php) gave me an error message stating that there is something wrong with Flash10.2 and I should rather use 10.3 beta. So maybe it's actually flash that's causing all the problems?

Re: Firefox 4
Mozilla has release a list of addons and just by how much they slow FF down:
(link here)
and
(link here)
and
(more here)To combat the problems with add-ons, Mozilla has announced it will begin labeling add-ons that slow down Firefox. The Mozilla Add-ons site will soon begin displaying warnings on any add-on that slows Firefox start-up time by 25 percent or more. Future releases of Firefox will go even further, adding the warnings to the Add-on Manager as well.
Though which release isn’t specified, Mozilla says an upcoming version of Firefox will stop third-party add-ons from being installed until users explicitly opt in. That means third-party software running elsewhere on your computer won’t be able to install toolbars and other bundled add-ons without your permission.

Re: Firefox 4
Flashgot keeps thinking I want to download a link when I just click on it. Even tabs some times :/
Also Facebook is giving me problems saying I need to download the latest flash player(again). So they send me the link to the current non beta one and on install it says it's not the latest yet again :/ Now I'm getting beta2. Sigh

I have settled on the addons that I need - and my foxy is fast. All those fancy ones may be fun but they are not needed.

Re: Firefox 4
We are so used to bad language - perhaps we missed it
Re: Firefox 4
If I told what the language violation was I'd have to issue myself a warning for using bad language on the forum.Siemens wrote:Wait stu, I went through the first pic again. What language violation?

Re: Firefox 4
Lately my internet has been quite a pain. Gmail does not seem to be working as fast as it used to while other websites loads fast. I'm not sure if it is Mweb or maybe FF4. Anyone else in Alberton using MWEB and FF4 experiencing the same problem?
