I have already made a report with bugzilla today.

This is the error that I get in the web console when the pics stop loading:

[02:19:20.333] this.cache.image[this.position] is undefined @ http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v1/yG/r/DNJ-r_UMuc6.js:16

Looks like it could be a problem with thier CDN. I sometimes have hangs with that. I think FB might be changing stuff with images again.

Please provide your bug number and URL. I will take a look.

Thanks a lot for providing the link!

have you also tried all the stuff like:

ipconfig /flushdns

becuase your connection to thier CDN could be bad. I did that and I had improved performance on FB. It seems as they change the IPs quite often. I have the ShowIP addon and the IP addresses assigned to certain parts of FB change a lot.

This might clear out some of that mess that they did.

flushdns did not fix it

Like I said in the other post, it's working fine in Opera 12 so I don't think that it's a problem with the connection.

Also if I restart firefox in Safe Mode it's working fine.

Mind me asking what exactly they fixed for the Mac? It looks great btw. I do not have OSX but planning on it very soon and love Firefox's look.

Another memory bug fix fixed (soon in Nightly - maybe land in FF7 as well).

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678422

Read Comment 2:

Some for Nightly users:

Pros: - Saves a few MB of wasted memory on small pages (like gmail) and up to 700MB on very large pages. - Roughly halves the number of allocations done by nsPresArena, which can only speed things up (I have no idea how much, though).

Before, they drew the background gradient and toolbar buttons manually (using the colours and such from the system), but now they ask the OS to draw those parts (In Lion, Apple added a noise texture to the toolbar gradient, so you really need to get the OS to draw it)

Anyone getting "Update Failed" with FF6 b5 ?

Checking for updates says there is a 2.3mb update, but it fails, gives me a link to download it which takes me to the FF5 final download page

I have downloaded the latest FF6b5 installer - is there another page for latest updated ones or is this a bug ?

That's a good step forward for Firefox, but it can be better...

I just ran a bench to compare browsers with the very big page in bug 678376 and :

- Firefox 8.0a1 before patch jump to 2.0 GB of ram used

- Firefox 8.0a1 after patch lose exactly 700MB and stabilize at 1.3 GB of RAM

but...

- Latest Chrome canary build and dev (15.0.849.0) stay at 1.1GB

- Webkit2Process of Safari 5.1 used 1.05 GB

- Internet Explorer 9.0.2 (with all patch) stay at 838 MB

and the winner is :

- Latest Opera Next 12.00 use only... 727 MB

Lets wait, once all P1 Mem Bugs fixed, it will use really lower RAM. Incremental GC and some others are ready to go but Developers holding back to land them in FF9 (since chances are their that FF9 uses MSVC2010).

Another Memory bug fixed:

FF8 got another feature after Tab detach animation:

^ Nice!

A similar add-on bug landed, as well: Bug 476430.

Why switch to full tab-size notification? When are they going to start using the notification bar-type popups you see in chrome and IE9? These are far less intrusive and better streamlined.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
