Firefox is being problematic

[Mr. Mulder]

Two main problems really, one is that it has epileptic fits with flash content like on the gamespot website – I followed the steps of disabling Obj-tabs in Adblock and that didn’t do anything, I didn’t even have Adblock to begin with and only downloaded it to disable those tabs. I also went into the Quicktime settings and made sure it wasn’t selected for browsing. Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox hasn’t helped either :fist:



The other problem happens at random, all of a sudden everything I click on opens in a new tab and the wheel button on my mouse goes from scrolling up and down to enlarging/minimizing text – it’s really annoying and shutting down/restarting Firefox doesn’t help, I have to restart the computer completely :dry:


*and also, the wysiwyg posting box takes awhile to load :ermm:

did you remember to delete your firefox profiles (backing up your bookmarks of course) before re-installing?

[GepperRankins]

i had a mobo that would act like i was pressing the ctrl key. the only way around this was to buy a USB keyboard so i didn't have to use the ps2 port.

doesn't the gamespot site fix itself once it's finished loading?

yeah but it shouldn't be gay in the first place, imo :ermm:

WTH are the folks on here with all the IE problems ffs? :ermm:

[peat moss]

I don't know guys not many guides on here how to tweak, speed up (its fucking slow ) or change skins ect. for IE either for that matter , must be that good...........


I like the other browsers for farting around with and changing things , my wife uses IE tho . :)

[Mr. Mulder]

I've been using FF and an old version of Opera side by side for awhile now, think I'll be using Opera more from now on :ermm:


i had a mobo that would act like i was pressing the ctrl key. the only way around this was to buy a USB keyboard so i didn't have to use the ps2 port.

dave was right, it must have been my ghey mobo, none of the pci/agp ports work and now this :fist:

just took the ps2 extension of me keyboard and started using it wiv usb :01:

[DarthInsinuate]

do you know where to find plugins for Opera, and how to make the gestures less crap?

i just updated some extensions on two machines - and in both cases firefox went total glitch mode
had to reinstall
'wtf? never had this before

A lot of mobos supply the ps2 ports from the 5v standby supply and there often isn't enough power to compensate for the extra voltage drop when you use a ps2 extension lead.

and also half the stuff on the mobo doesn't actually work :pinch:
