Is there any way to install an earlier version of Flash and keep Firefox from auto-updating it? After fighting with the hellspawn that is version 300.265 of flash I am at my wits end here. It's disabled right now to keep firefox from using all 4 gigs of my ram when it freezes.

Did you try disabling protected mode? Downgrading comes with a whole host of risks, particularly the potential for opening yourself to exploits that the new versions fixed.

So apparently the new version of Firefox doesn't reload saved tabs when you restore them (such as from a browser crash/close). Anyone know how to turn that back on? I've wandered through about:config, but there was nothing obvious that might control that behavior.

Can anyone give me some noscript help? I'd like to only allow facebook.com and fbcdn.net javascript only when I'm on facebook.com itself. I want to avoid loading all their crap on other websites. I found this ABE functionality which seems to do the job and I've added Site fbcdn.net *.fbcdn.net Accept from facebook.com *.facebook.com youtube.com *.youtube.com Deny However it doesn't seem to work properly, the URLs are still blocked or unblocked globally. Something similar for Twitter would be amazing as well! EDIT: This seems to work but there's a problem with HTTPS, do you think that's possible to work around? Site .facebook.com .fbcdn.net Accept from .facebook.com .fbcdn.net Deny INCLUSION(SCRIPT, OBJ, SUBDOC) But it doesn't give you the option of temporarily allowing it on a page, its completely removed from the drop down list.

Okay for the past five FF versions the YouTube HTML5 player causes FF to lock up for like 10 seconds, but then it works and the video plays. If I use full-screen then it completely fucks my browser window and turns it into a tiny little window. Also the right-click menu is covered up by the FF right-click menu. Basically every single part of the YouTube HTML5 player is completely hosed for me, and it's getting really old fast. I've disabled all plugins and extensions with no effect. What loving gives Mozilla?

Alereon posted:That sounds like either a profile or video driver issue. I haven't seen those problems on my system with a GTX 670 and current beta drivers. I'm using Aurora, but if it was a Firefox problem I think at least one of the previous builds I used would have encountered it. Of course, I try to use Youtube's HTML5 player as little as possible due to the slower performance and lower video quality versus Flash. This has been happening with all the latest driver versions, I'm on a 560Ti and 301.42. I should probably reset my profile but then I lose everything, this is the same profile I've been using since FF 4. The install folder is still Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 7. Flash is also hosed, if I scroll past an embedded video it doesn't seem to refresh the video element properly or something and this happens:

That Flash thing is a known issue (with Flash itself), you can improve the situation by disabling Protected Mode at a cost of security. I would try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, if you don't select to delete your data when you uninstall there should be essentially no impact. Just back up your profile first to be safe (C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\yourprofilehere). A profile reset would probably also be a good choice. You can use the Profile Reset function from about:support, which makes a new profile and then reimports your data (minus extensions) from the old one. Edit: Also, I updated the thread title to cover all current versions (Release-Nightly)

Already did a reinstall, had no effect whatsoever. I guess I'll try remaking my profile since it is a few years old at this point. Hopefully this is fixable, I really don't want to have to use Chrome. Somehow it manages to be even worse.

Two things: 1) The install location of Firefox doesn't affect your profile, which is in AppData (or your homedir). 2) You can reset your Firefox profile while keeping most of the important data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, and form data) by going to Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Reset Firefox. Then you just need to reinstall any extensions you want to keep and mess with prefs to get it back to how you like.

I just upgraded to version 14.0.1 and it seems to be a major piece of poo poo. It's hogging resources (was using 121k of memory according to task manager) and browsing is frustrating because of how slow it is, presumably because of all the resources it's using. I started using Firefox because it was light and didn't have all the things that made other browsers bloated - except tabbed browsing which was great - but it seems to be just as bad as all the others now. Is it just me?

Avenging Dentist posted:Two things: I know both of these, thanks. I was just pointing out that it had been installed a long time ago and was subject to many in-place upgrades. Firefox itself was actually split across both "Mozilla Firefox" and "Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 7". Most of the executables were in the Beta folder while everything else was not. Like I said before, it does this with everything disabled on a fresh profile. The problem lies with firefox itself, not my settings.

Does the video on this page give you problems too? If not, it's probably not an issue with the video decoding.

It's just the YT player that makes it freeze for a second. It also causes the browser to resize when leaving full screen. The context menu is also covered by the default firefox one. I blame Google and just turned off the HTML5 player for now. It isn't worth the trouble even though it was working fine a few weeks ago.

Had to turn off the HTML5 beta for now.

Huuuurk. Little help here. My Firefox appears to have updated to 14. Apparently 14 no longer handles history the same way. I delete my non-work related history after work every day (paranoid  ), but it seems that the history no longer shows pages that get redirected, as I noticed when I typed in an f and got "forums.somethingawful.com" showing up.Is there any way to delete those entries from my history without wiping my history entirely? I hate having to do that.
