Firefox is being problematic
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?
Re: Firefox is being problematic
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?

Re: Firefox is being problematic
WTH are the folks on here with all the IE problems ffs? :ermm:
Re: Firefox is being problematic
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 . :)
Re: Firefox is being problematic
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:

Re: Firefox is being problematic

Re: Firefox is being problematic

That's probably it.
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.
