Stink Terios posted:Fullscreen on Youtube stopped working for some reason, it just sets Firefox itself to fullscreen while the video is stuck in a weird almost-full state. Already checked permissions, everything's ok. Do you have any youtube-related Greasemonkey scripts or extensions? Every time I think youtube has a new issue, it always ends up being one of those instead.

Mr. Fortitude posted:Is the Firefox 37 beta suffering from a memory leak or something? Not only do I get mini freezes when browsing online but the memory usage shoots up to ridiculous levels too within 30 minutes of Firefox being open. Wondering the same about 36.0.1 stable. I haven't seen Firefox memory usage hitting 2Gb+ in years.

I disabled all of my browser extensions and it's still stuttering and eating up tons of memory. Looks like Mozilla broke something which means until it gets fixed I'll have to go back to Chrome because this is unusable at the moment.

Alereon posted:This indicates there is a problem with your Firefox profile. You can fix it with "Refresh Firefox" in about :support. Tried that and it still doesn't fix anything. It has to be a fault on Mozilla's end if refreshing my profile to default and removing all addons doesn't fix it at all, while other browsers work just fine. Edit: Actually created a new profile and uninstalled and I still have issues so I don't even know at this point. Selenephos fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Mar 20, 2015 |

Same here. Firefox using over 500MB most of the time, whereas before the update it was a lot less. Haven't seen this kind of memory usage since I still had Adblock installed before I learned of uBlock.

With no extensions enabled and a fresh install of Firefox, it uses up 1.5Gb within 30 minutes for me and browsing pages becomes very choppy and stuttery. It's unusable for me in it's current state.

I had to use a machine with 3GB with Windows 8 for a while and browsing modern sites was only barely possible.

But as far as I know the 64-bit derivatives of Firefox are really poorly optimized and are barely updated unless that changed lately? I wouldn't mind the memory leak so much if it didn't cause everything to stutter uncontrollably, that's what is making it unusable more than anything.

You probably weren't using an official 64-bit Firefox build on Windows, since while Mozilla is finally serious about adding one it's still only available in dev and nightly.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm still using 32-bit beta version of Firefox, mostly because I want proper HTML5 playback. At first everything was great but the latest beta update introduced the huge memory leak and rolling back to the stable channel also has the memory leak. Right now after about an hour or so Firefox crashes because of a lack of memory. I mentioned 64-bit Firefox because I'd assume it wouldn't run out of memory so quick but I also heard they weren't exactly stable either.

It might be a teething thing or an extension giving you headaches. Incidentally I haven't had a crash (other than a couple I did intentionally for testing purposes) in Firefox 38 (dev) Win64 so far. Also I wonder if all browsers are falling victim to Chrome and Firefox's six-week update cycle - even relatively stable ones like IE and Safari, not because of their own issues but because of declining user standards because of the six-week update cycle. "Welcome to the Internet, where 'stable' means 'obsolete'."

My Firefox memory usage also increases and starts to stutter when scrolling pages. I have to restart it every once in a while to refresh it. Combined with the black image bug, I'm almost tempted to install the ESR release if I am going to have to wait 2 or 3 versions for this crap to be fixed.

Is the Bandcamp website working for others on 36.0.4? I've tried it in safe mode and with all add-ons and clicking the "play" button does nothing. I don't know what kind of player it is, but it doesn't respond at all. I have no problems at Soundcloud, Youtube html5, etc. Example page: https://minus-silence.bandcamp.com/album/va-ms-3-ms-031

I've had the problem as well. Usually I have YouTube Center force HTML5 and it started happening on videos that are over 30 minutes. When I set Youtube Center to 'default,' it really screwed the audio up. I have no idea what it was. I didn't have much time to get into it last night, sadly.

saucepanman posted:It's working over here. Do you have noscript installed? I do, but I've whitelisted Bandcamp (and also tried in safe mode with no extensions and got the same behavior). I think it may have something to do with cookies, but I cannot pinpoint it. I only allow whitelisted cookies, so when I added exceptions for Bandcamp, the player semi-works (nothing plays, but I can move the slider back and forth and it shows me time for the song). But, after unblocking cookies completely, I still get the same behavior, so I'm stumped at this point.

Have you tried using a standard IM client, or do you need the video conferencing stuff? I really feel your pain, though. The normal hangouts client is so terrible and the conferencing features are so good.

I thought Pidgin was for a while then support ended or something. Also, in Chrome dev tools when you add CSS rules there is a stylesheet called 'inspector stylesheet' in the sources tab where you can view all the CSS you have added via the inspector. Is there similar functionality in Firefox? I can add CSS rules via the inspector but I have to copy/paste each one individually rather than view them all at once. nexus6 fucked around with this message at 12:44 on Mar 25, 2015 |

I actually stepped back to 37 when I found a Win64 beta, so I wouldn't know. That said, you could try searching about:config, and even if you do find it there, tell Mozilla that the way it's currently being done is kinda rear end-handed. (I know, bugzilla lol.) Also consider bringing it up on Twitter in Mozilla's general direction, but civilly and comprehensibly.

I would say most IM clients still support the Google Talk protocol. I use Miranda NG and I can text chat with all my Hangouts friends. For your second question, I don't know if that is possible with the built-in tools, but have you tried Firebug?

Hmm, I got rid of firebug because the native tools had come along so much, seems kinda redundant to have both for one feature (OK, two, firebug autosuggests css selectors when you start typing). Also, isn't firebug a big memory hog?
