It's been like this for a long time now, more than a few builds back...don't have a clue why...

interesting, didn't noticed it was that long, but good to know I'm not the only one.... Maybe someone who knows about the internal workings of dA can shed light on this?

Same here, but only when I press back button.

Some downloads cause Firefox to freeze, usually when the file is almost finished and then scanned for Viruses, this is very annoying and only seems to be causes by exe files.

Yea i find that annoying too, that's why i disable it in about:config 

browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone;false

I've had this issue, one of the first things I ever do is turn of this 'virus scanning' it never seems to actually do anything anyway.

browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone;false

EDIT-- Beaten to it :p

Beta 7 Landed, the new progress bar's are in, seems much faster while browsing and handling multiple tabs than before.

Quite a few things are included in this one.

Landed? I don't believe it has, since these bugs are still blocking it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=blocking2.0%3Abeta7

Anyone has a link to that build of Styltish that's working with the betas? Can't browse the long thread right now. Thank you.

LOL. You realize the link is in the first post on the first page, right?

Edit: oops! I guess the links to stylish and greasemonkey have been removed.

Should be this bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595683, which is waiting for the dependency bug to be fixed

Since Beta 5, i've seen a graphical bug show up whenever I use the scroll wheel-click browse method. When I click and hold the scroll wheel, and move the mouse up or down to scroll the page, an ugly square shows up underneath the mouse pointer. Anyone else seeing this?

Just confirmed that this bug is fixed in Minefield 4.0b7pre. (Y)

sunspider scores 310 with latest 22/09. We even beat Chrome and Apple :)

Again, these benchmarks depend on the speed of the computer. I assume you compared it to Chrome and Apple on the same computer? How did they compare?

"310" on its own is meaningless.

    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Windows Live Mail : If someone was malicious

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
