FridgeFreezer Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I've found the last couple of Flash updates have made things rubbish - also Adobe Acrobat reader is a pain, if you open a PDF in a new tab the mouse scroll wheel stops responding until you've tabbed to the PDF and back again 100 tabs open, that must be a lot of pr0n!

elbekko Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 100 tabs open, that must be a lot of pr0n! They're mostly Pirate build threads, so in a way, yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

integerspin Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have had problems with firefox 7, all the others worked flawlessly for me. I found every time the browser was loading a page it stopped responding for 10s or so, didn't say stopped responding just wouldn't do anything. I had a fool around and found unticking 'hardware acceleration' improved it[it still does it but only for a second or two]. untiking it didn't make a lot of sense but it worked, I was lead to try that as I can't start solidworks with certain graphics card profiles loaded, the solidworks one for instance;-) I also get it failing to load pages, mostly happens when your reloading half a dozen or more tabs[so it happens sometimes when firefox restores previous session, the network usage is zero and all the liccle green thingies spinningawaya; restart it seems the only solution, it's fine when restated. If you don't like acrobat try Sumatra, I tried several alternatives all worked fine, I like sumatra best of the ones I tried. I might try going back to an earlier flash, I hadn't considered that.

elbekko Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I might try going back to an earlier flash, I hadn't considered that. Please don't, Flash is one of the most attacked platforms, and the updates are usually there to close vulnerabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I use FF and it works fine except for some very rare crashes. But I can't save the pics on the forum when opened in the new window!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
