unruly posted:Not sure if you're replying to me, but here's the documentation on how to setup prefetching. It's not really that hard. And this only works if the web developer has specifically included additional code to indicate the pages to prefetch. It isn't just scanning the page for an <a> tag with the label "Next" or anything. Does anyone have information as to how widespread the prefetching tags are in use?

I wonder if you could somehow, through JavaScript, add appropriate link tags to the header and have the browser actually pick up on it. That way you could have a very simple extension that provides link prefetching for pages that lack it.

unruly posted:I think you'll find them commonly in CMSes where the feature can be easily automated. Forums would be an excellent use of it as well. I was thinking forums at first, but what about the instance where the next page is having posts actively added to it? In that case, you load up page 1 and the browser caches page 2. When you finally get to page 2, 10 new posts have been added. Will the browser refresh or check in any way that the page has changed since it was pre-fetched? Also on CMS's, I can see how it would be easy to implement, but how widespread is it actually? I don't work with them, so I'm genuinely curious.

As far as CMSes, you see it pretty commonly in WordPress, especially with the better themes. It speeds up paging through a blog's history. I try to use it where possible (and easy), otherwise smart use of a primed page cache can make a site feel snappier than simple prefetching, especially if you have users who are unlikely to spend a long time on a single page (see: reddit).

OK, seriously, what the gently caress is this? I have a long bookmarks menu and it shouldn't be clipping onto the taskbar when I click away from it. edit: Turning on Aero made it stop. That's a mighty retarded bug though. Navaash fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Jun 16, 2012 |

Install Gentoo posted:Why did you have it disabled anyway? If you don't like the glass look, you can disable the transparency effect separately. I just upgraded to 13 because I had been still using 3 (not broken don't fix it) until I was out of nowhere getting repeated error reports upon closing Firefox which annoyed me (broken FIX IT). The menu bar is off-color now from the rest of the window but I'll live. This incidentally happened after my first-ever serious crash with this computer that I built last August, with Diablo 3 going off the deep end and causing a looping-sound freeze. I was still able to alt-tab out of the game and close it, though (since I habitually run games in fullscreen windowed) after which the trouble cropped up. edit: Okay it's doing it again with Aero on. Awesome. edit: The computer was randomly taking the theme out of Aero for some reason. I've restarted the computer and will see if it sticks.

I haven't seen anyone else post about this, so I'm wondering if it's just me. When playing embedded Youtubes here on the forums, I can no longer scroll the page with PageUp/PageDn/Home/End. Usually if I click somewhere outside of the video pane, scrolling would return to normal. The mouse wheel works fine, as does the scroll bar. If I switch tabs, then switch back, everything is fine. Is there some setting I need to modify to fix this? I'm using the Fancy Forums mod, if that makes a difference.

Is anyone using Aurora 15 on Windows 8 Release Preview? The font rendering keeps changing from sharp to blurry, and sometimes flickers. I've tried a few gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode tweaks but I can't find the right number.

Go to about :config, find and edit that preference. Except the thing you're complaining about isn't the thing I thought you were complaining about, so that preference won't help you. Hang on, let me look for another. edit: Sorry, there's no way to disable title attribute tooltips.

It's really fun when you click play, forgetting your speakers are turned up and the sound comes blasting out at ridiculous levels and you scramble for the mute button or volume dial and nothing happens.

Tech Report has an post with a screenshot showing the new default theme for Firefox, Australis. The new theme is designed to substantially improve performance, memory usage, and usability, and is still under development in the user experience branch. The Tech Report post compares the similarities between Australis and Google Chrome, which I think goes to show the degree to which Google's design choices aren't just aesthetic, but are functional and indeed are often the ONLY correct way to design a UI element.

Some people have their bugs fixed, and it starts working better for them. Some people fall victim to new bugs, and it starts working worse. They try to make the latter group as small as possible, but with hundreds of millions of users, it's still going to happen no matter how well they do at it.

That improved it a lot, but still happens if you scroll the video off the screen. Seems to fix itself a lot quicker now, so progress. Unfortunately I still have a bug where if I load a tab in the background that has embedded flash the focus leaves Firefox (I assume it goes to FlashPlayerPlugin.exe) so I can't scroll without clicking in the window again.

So is it worth upgrading back to Flash 11.3 with this new update? I got so sick of the issues with the previous 11.3 that I had to revert back to 10.3.

This flash poo poo is getting pretty annoying. Sometimes when I'm viewing threads that have embedded videos, Firefox will just suddenly decide to lose focus. After looking into it a little more I realized what was happening. 1. Open thread. 2. Read thread for a few minutes. 3. Open next page of thread (which contains an embedded video) 4. Can't scroll because I lost focus due to FlashPlayerPlugin_11_3_300_257.exe starting. I don't remember having this issue in FF12 at all.

I'm sure this has been asked many times over but didn't see anything for the last few pages. I used Firefox for years until the end of last year when suddenly it started getting really sluggish, especially switching tabs seemed a bit slow as if it had to load it from memory again etc. I switched to Chrome as Adblock plus was available as a extension and have been fairly happy using that for the past six months. How are the latest versions of Firefox? I know I could download it and try it for myself, but its never slow to begin with, its always a few weeks into using it that it slows right down and requires a profile wipe to get nifty again, is the general consensus that its gotten a bit faster? My main gripe with Chrome is that although it really annoyed me at first, I grew to quite like Firefox's awesome bar and able to recall previously visited sites in just a few keystrokes and no Chrome addon really replicates it as well.
