I just disabled hardware acceleration on Flash too on my copy of Firefox 10 and things are a LOT faster. Also, it dropped from using 100MB of RAM to 78MB. Is Flash really THAT bad?

Cuntpunch posted:95% of my daily Firefox usage is two tabs: Yeah, Firefox 14 uses 2GB of RAM for me no matter how many tabs I have open. I'm starting to think the memory leaks are back (or never left...I don't even know anymore as I've had RAM issues with Firefox ever since 3 started).

Is Aurora stable enough to be used as a permanent browser or should I stick with Release Channel builds?

Zhentar posted:^^^ Aurora is usually pretty reliable. It's been many months since I last ran into a significant issue with it. Thanks, I'll give it a shot! Firefox's Aurora site says the latest one is 13.0.1 but that's the same version on the release channel. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for 15 (if that's out yet as Aurora) or is that it?

Bieeardo posted:The version I'm running is 15.0a2, so the site probably needs to play a little catchup. It should want to update to current, if it isn't at 15 when you download it. I think the site is a bit behind, yeah. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/aurora/ I used this one but I think it's out of date. But thanks though!

On Aurora, the Downloads menu disappeared and has been replaced with the window again. Has this happened for anyone else? I just updated to 16.0a2 but this happened before I updated.

I've gotten this. It's not just on Firefox, it's on Chrome too. As far as I know, there's no way to turn it off.

Alereon posted:I don't think so, but I'd recommend switching to Aurora and trying out the plugin-click-to-play feature, that way the plugin process will only launch when you actually want to view plugin content. You can also whitelist sites. plugin-click-to-play is on Firefox 16.0.1 as well. I'm using Firefox after one of my plugins broke in Aurora and it seems it's still in 16.0.1 and so is the Activate Plugin thing.

Alereon posted:I don't think it has the ability to save per-site permissions though, which is important to keep it from turning into an annoying thing you want to turn off. I could be wrong though. I may go back to beta at some point, but I think I'll stay with Firefox 16 and Aurora as backup. How long will 17 remain in beta?

Is MozBackup still a valid way to backup your profile data or is there an easier way?

Hughesmar posted:Wouldn't Firefox Sync do what you need? Speaking of this, Firefox Sync has been absolutely awful for me. Tabs don't sync, I can't use them from either my laptop or desktop, and history also doesn't sync. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Dominoes posted:You have to go to Menu - history - tabs from other computer to sync tabs. Super unintuitive and clumsy. Uh...wow. That's really stupid considering I remember it being a simple link in the "List All Tabs" button when Sync first showed up. Thanks for showing me where they hid it.

Sync on Firefox really does need some work. The whole "hidden list in the History section" is not exactly intuitive. Especially since it doesn't seem to work with the Tab Groups feature and only shows a small amount of the tabs you have open.Dominoes posted:It automatically loads the tabs from your other computer. Tab Sync on Chrome shows a list as a small pop-up menu on the home screen. It's not automatically opened. You just click "Other devices" and up pops a menu with every tab you have open on other devices. You can go through every single tab that you have open manually or open them all at once, each in it's own tab. Firefox makes you click the link to every tab and it opens a new tab that steals focus which means you need to go back to the Tab Sync tab every time you want to open a new tab. It also, as I said, does not show every single tab.

Jippa posted:Is there a specific reason that people have moved too chrome? Or is it just personal preference? I use Chrome more than Firefox now a days. Mostly because I got sick of having to wipe the profile just to fix things. I haven't been able to play Flash videos in Firefox ever since it updated and even before that. It just crashes any other time. The only reason I use Firefox is due to the ability to have many more tabs open thanks to the Tab Groups and I can still download videos with Video Downloader...though it's impossible to play them since Flash doesn't work anymore. Of course, I could make backups but that's just more hassle. Also, Firefox Sync is just horrible compared to Chrome. It just doesn't even work half the time. In fact, I just checked and it's "not currently working" right now and will try again later.

Whatever the new Firefox is doing, it's making it incredibly buggy and unstable on quite a few sites. I've cleared the cache, started a new profile, all of that. I think it's this HTTPS forcing thing that simply doesn't work. It took the forums here about 5 minutes to actually load where it takes them only a few seconds to load on Chrome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGsDWRxfjTk&t=3396s Anyone got any info or confirmation on this? Apparently, both Firefox and Chrome write their respective recovery sessions every 15 seconds. Firefox supposedly does 10GB a day and this will eventually kill an SSD faster than normal unless you tweak the settings. Crossposting from the SSD and Chrome threads, apparently Firefox and Chrome are the main ones that do this? Chrome supposedly does 1GB per hour.
