And a wild australis appears in nightly. Not easy to see the words on the tabs with windows aero though.

OH GOD! What the hell did the latest Firefox update do?!
Scrolling with the mouse wheel is sluggish as hell. Is there any way to fix this?
EDIT: Nevermind, I found the option tucked away under Advanced>general. For some reason "Smooth scrolling" was turned on. *shudder*

Thanks, it's working for me now.
What they really need is tab animation like Chrome, that would make it feel a lot smoother.

Yeah I'm surprised that's still not back yet, it's been a while since they removed it in Aurora.

How well does NoScript actually protect you? It is the sole reason I've stayed with FireFox. If Chrome ever gets an addon like it I'll switch, but so far I've heard that they have been unsuccessful.
I believe there's an extension for Chrome called NotScript. I don't know how well it compares to NoScript, however.

You can block it by using a master password.
You mean in the options menu? All the browsers do that. Just setup a master password or use a password manager.

After sticking with an OLD version I recently got the newest. The look is much more efficient like I had to tweak with the old.
1 thing I still hate it no warning when I close out during a download. It really should ask like it does if you press X when multiple tabs are open. And there is no Download status info on the screen or direct spot on the interface to click like there was or am I miss remembering?

nearly all browsers do this. as someone else mentioned, set up a master password if you want to encrypt your data and block it from prying eyes.
So... When I highlight a word by double-left-clicking on it and, without leaving the left button, I try to select other words, Firefox stops highlighting when I reach the bottom of the window.
I mean, it does not scroll the page automatically.
This doesn't happen if I start highlighting without double-clicking, but I find easier to highlight a word by double-clicking on it rather than select it manually.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm on Firefox 11, Windows 7.

It's a known issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157456
Not here, but going by the pages, it might be a Flash issue.
This should sort it out for you, it's Adobe Flash causing the problems:
http://techlogon.com/2012/06/10/early-problems-with-flash-player-protected-mode-in-firefox-13/
Even upgrading to the latest version as suggested at the bottom of that article didn't help, so still have Protected Mode switched off.

Thanks, this fixed it!
Have you been trying it out? I'm a fan of the tabs, but I really need to have tab animations in there to make it feel as nice as Chrome's UI, as I said earlier.
Same Problem here for a week now except that they just won't really load most of the time at all. Really weird and just seemed to stop for no reason, as nothing got updated or changed.

Is there a Firefox addon that works like iOS' Reader function (focuses on and reformats only the article temporarily, blocking all other panes/distractions)?

Yeah the tabs slide like chrome now when moved.
There's a couple, I think readability or firefox is the best one.

Flash Player is pissing me of since the latest FF version.
Anyone else having problems with Flash?
- It crashes a lot! Luckily FF handles it well and restarts the plugin immediately.
- A Flash video fucking always is "active" the moment it plays. I like to browse through pages using the space bar, but when a video is playing on that page the space bar always just plays/pauses the video. Even when I specifically click next to the video so that the flash player shouldn't be active/in the foreground. Your whole keyboard and its functions are dedicated to the player. WTF...

I had to edit the .xpi file to extend the compatibility range for one of my extensions.
Spent a few minutes sniffing FF's DOM and tweaked the CSS for the bookmarks toolbar on both OSX and Windows. Besides being, like, totally better looking (IMHO), i've also added the ability for the toolbar to autohide when the mouse is away. Bring your mouse back to the navbar and your bookmarks will slide over your content without pushing down the page down. You'll need Stylish to use either -

So I just uninstalled Chrome after a good year or so, downloaded Firefox, and is it just me or does it perform better now? When I scroll through pages with lots of images, video, and... well, content-heavy websites I guess, it doesn't hang like Chrome did.
I dunno, overall it just seems to perform much better. Fonts look nicer too. It takes a little longer to start up, but who cares?

Got a weird new bug.
HP laptop.
Firefox, whatever is current.
When I watch something on Youtube the touch bar with the volume doesn't work. (Or starts to half work). But say I go back to the YT homepage with no Flash videos, it works fine. Made sure all was update to date and even restart/rebooted.
What gives?

The official support for retina displays is slow in arriving so I used this thingie from hitori instead. What does disabling layer acceleration break exactly? :/

Why isn't the beta for FF15 up on the ftp yet? >:|
Just got a prompt for it earlier, The Verge has an article up now
Firefox 14 for the desktop released with HTTPS searching and OS X Lion full-screen mode
Firefox 14 for the desktop released with HTTPS searching and OS X Lion full-screen mode
takes a few days after the release.
even longer if like me you use the portableapps build.
Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis oh my fucking god, where do I get 15.0?
Wow. Only took em a year.
Yep, and it still hangs on youtube, but I noticed its only certain ones.
Try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awJNb76H5Qs
Definitely turning off automatic updates now. I wish like hell I could just rollback to whichever one I was on before this but that seems to have sailed now.

Youtube has been performing so bad for me lately as well, anytime I need to use it I just have to switch over the chrome, the video tears when scrolling and constant freezes.
Plays fine on Nightly, though I'm using my YT script.
It also plays fine in Fx 14, I didn't realize that they also put videos in "Original" format.
edit:
I watched it on the site, and do notice the player almost disappears for a few moments, when scrolling. But I watched the video (in original format
) in full screen, it's fine.
There was a strange bug a while back where videos would just pause, but I thought that was a Flash issue.
