I have been reporting this issue with the FF 4 builds for a while now and it has still caused me a problem with the latest nightly...

"Review retrieval timed out"

the same as when I reported it here...

apart from reporting the site each time I try a new nightly I'm not sur ewhat I can do to try and get the problem resolved with the 4.xx build of FF.

I can confirm this is a problem, probably with ajax I'm guessing. The site works in Fx3 and IE8.

Why not use the portable version of Firefox 4 Beta then so you don't have to! http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/test

That or a second pc but I highly doubt everyone here has that. You can even try the latest nightly minefield build as well if you really want.

Hmm, forgot about Portable Apps. Thanks.

Though I can't run it on my Mac, I guess I'll run it through my VM.

"Review retrieval timed out"

only a month ago i delayed purchasing my pan sets from argos because it kept coming up with that - only once i realised it worked in chrome, i purchased them

Though i didn't report it as i just presumed it was Argos' website - after all we all know that Argos' website has the odd mistake (if price, picture or otherwise) :p

Does this happen to anyone else?

I pinned Gmail as an app tab and every time I restart Firefox it always "takes to long to load."

Its fine once I refresh the page, but its really annoying...

I hardly have any add-ons, and I disabled the ones I was using and it still happens.

    • I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html
    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
