Optimized pages are more semantic, render faster, save on bandwidth, and help performance, especially when taking tabbed browsing into consideration. HalloKitty posted:

Apparently Ghostery is telling me that it doesn't like working with BeefTaco, and can cause lock ups. That may explain why very rarely my FF would crash on shut down.

If I could be bothered taking screenshots from within 3D view (the imgur extension has spoiled me!) then we could play a game of Guess The Website. It's strange how websites look when tipped on their sides, Google's search box and Install Chrome button are like skyscrapers!

Golbez posted:So, on a modern PC, would we really gain any performance by streamlining these pages? Calculating the page layout can be a pretty significant part of page loading performance. The layout rules are really complicated, with elements affecting the size of their contents and the size of their contents affecting the elements and elements affecting other elements and it's all so complicated sometimes I'm not sure how browsers manage to achieve a layout at all, much less as quickly as they do.

I thought I'd like to mention that there is an option in about:config to turn off the context menu item of "inspect this element" and such, for those of you that never need to use any of that stuff. I had a user turn it on earlier today and freaked the gently caress out about it since they primarily use a web-based application for most of their day to day activities. They totally thought they had malware.

What's really interesting is to look at the huge professional public-facing sites: MSNBC, CNN, etc. The towers are almost all blue divs, nary a red table to be found. (Looks like the tables tend to either be for actual tabular data, or for third party advertisements) The bedrock of Gmail is *21* nested divs.

OWA is a towering landscape of divs too. Though, it's a vast improvement over the old version...

Welp, now that the official release version is 11, one very nagging problem I've had across 3-4 installs (laptops, desktops, work, home, etc.) is that SA tabs tend to load up with a -1 index saying that a particular forum or thread cannot be found in the live forums. I had this issue when I tried using the Nightly 64-bit builds so I backed off and started using older 32-bit release versions, but now it's in full force in the release version. Any ideas?

Nope, had this since forever. I think it's more of an SA bug with a piece of JS code firing on the wrong event type. The JS code makes assumptions about the values of variables that aren't true after a session restore, so you get '-1' instead. The firefox bug part of this is that a page load happens without creating a 'back' event, which is stupid.

I haven't actually had this happen until I started using the post-10 nightlies, which is why I dropped back to 8-ish, but now that we're on 11, it's ... yeah. Very annoying. Since it ONLY happens on SA I was already sure it's pretty much a SA specific issue, though, but not having the back event is painful.

Here I was, totally impressed with Firefox' completely silent update process during the last year. Turns out, that was because it didn't update at all, despite the settings! When going to 'About Firefox', it just displayed the running version (6) and a button labeled 'Apply update'. When clicked, Firefox would restart without any noticable effect. I downloaded the current version (11) and applied the update manually, which worked, but the problem remains. It doesn't check for a new version, just shows the Apply update button, which does nothing but restart Firefox. I'm not too bothered about this, but if anyone knows what's up with that, that would be cool.

Alereon posted:I'm thinking you have some sort of permissions issue. What version of Windows are you using, and do you have Firefox installed somewhere non-standard? I do everything from a non-administrator account with the idea that that is best in case I should ever get hit by malware or something. So when I install or update Firefox manually, it asks me for the Administrator password, which I would give. Don't know if that matters, I would expect Firefox to know how to deal with that and ask me for elevation if needed or report a failure to update.

You should be able to do this in your addon toolbar, by clicking the noscript icon. Theler fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Mar 18, 2012 |

I do have NoAds and use AdblockPlus to block the Quantserve, Indieclick, and Google Analytics scripts on SA. It only happens on forums, not threads, and if you have loaded but not interacted with the forum page, it won't happen. I think I tested it happening as load a forum, middle click on a 'go to last post' link to open it in a new tab, then quit and reload firefox will cause it. Restore session on startup is turned on, and session manager is installed. I don't think SALR is doing it, but I only tested with it disabled, not uninstalled.

After flipping that back and forth a bit I'm reasonably sure it's SA's scripts that's actually loving it up. I wasn't terribly concerned with tracking scripts and google analytics, it's the fact that when I reload a session after restarting Firefox (since FF11) that tabs I have in SA would refresh to a forumid=-1 error page.

I'm having the same problems as arioch, but they only started with the last Firefox update. Blocking everything with noscript fixed it, but fucks up SA functionality. Chrome time I guess :/
