slowday444 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 on my old computer. Enough little annoyances going on with FF that I am thinking of going to it. How is it these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted August 3, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 3, 2005 The new netscape is awful. It can use either ff or ie's engines and dosent do either very well. Plus it dosent have a mail program like the old netscape program had. If you want something more similar in stability and features than just get the regular mozilla suite. I used to hate FF too, but since I got some tips on how to fix it the way I want, I love it. What problems do you have with FF maybe we can help you get passed them.

slowday444 Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Some sites it won't load images without refreshing several times (check out my post in The Lounge). I checked it out with this test and it passes fine: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=288184 so I have no idea what is going on. I'm at work and using MS 2000 and no problems. XP at home, Bestbuy.com is an example site where the issue happens! Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted August 3, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 3, 2005 You could just have a bad install. Have you tried to make a new profile? We can try that but first do this: Go to tools>Options>Web Features. Make sure the box that says "load images" is checked and the one that says "For the originating site only" is not checked.

slowday444 Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Solved the problem (I think! In fact I'm going over to the FF support forum and post. All kinds of image problem threads there all of the time!). In the advanced JavaScript menu I disabled Change Images. I've CCleaned several times so nothing is cached, gone back to Bestbuy.com (it was the worst site) and everything loads normally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowday444 Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Wow!!! Every site is loading so much faster now, can't believe this. Why is that enabled by default anyway, unless it was some sort of optimization I applied? This is giving me a whole new FF life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Check out my forums under Tweaks. Install ChromEdit and apply the Best Computer/Connection tweaks. Then you'll really be amazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
