Shocking news for the world of interwebz.

wait for firefox 10 next month.

Many add-ons will work just fine, but the developers haven't bumped up their version compatibility on addons.mozilla.org (AMO). Thank the faster Firefox release cycle for that.

I'd recommend using Add-on Compatibility Reporter ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/add-...-reporter/ ). It will disable Firefox's compatibility check. Adblock Plus should have no problems... I've been using it in the Nightly releases since Firefox 4.

*edit* Actually, the AMO page shows "Firefox 3.5 - 9.0a1". You might want to try again or check for updates...

*edit2* Also, Mozilla does some basic checks against add-ons, and automatically bumps their version compatibility on AMO if no problems are found. Can't remember when that occurs...

Firefox fucking blows now. I had 4, didn't want to go higher, it finally auto updated me to 6, and now I saw the update for 7. It's bloated and awful now, Chrome is snappy and fast.

haha 7? so now each new release gets an increment of +1? I'm happy with my 3.smth.

Problem solved.

huh? adblock plus is working fine here on firefox 7

same

3.5.5

3.6 is when it gets slow, 3.6 is just slow at loading the first time

search addons for minimize, and there is probaly something that works to minimize FF to system tray

sucks how they increasing the version numbers like that, makes version numbers meaningless. They're all just 4.x versions for me

maybe they found out alot of FF users are tards who only see the first number in the version and dont understand the remain 2 or rc at the end

.

trying openning opera

dont like opera & the intro page (recently viewed) sucks...i liked ff with its extra line for dragging links into

Adblock plus works fine on firefox 7 for me. Try reinstalling it then it should work, I didn't have to do that but some people have had to.

Personally I think FF became shit after 2.x.x. That version was so damn quick, then with ver 3 and on it went downhill. But yeah, seems to get more bloated and slower with each version.

They must have people from id working on FF, because some of the shit they do between versions, even small things, make no fucking sense at all.

seems like you've forgotten 1.5? firefox has been going downhill for a long, long, long time, and I doubt there's any saving it. this is a cycle that will repeat until the end of time. any time there's a good idea, it gets upended by greed and cynicism and opportunists. I've used Firefox since Phoenix and Firebird; it's nothing more now than a shadow of its former self, and Chrome is no better.

there really aren't any objectively good browsers, but Opera seems the best of the bunch for better or worse. at any rate, this was about Firefox, and ... yeah. 1.5 -> 2 was somewhat of an overhaul, but even then, the changes really weren't that drastic. now they put a new version number on with each breath, and I'm starting to see clear signs of bloat. it just happened to uTorrent, too. oh well. cut and run. don't try to save the Hindenburseems like you've forgotten 1.5? firefox has been going downhill for a long, long, long time, and I doubt there's any saving it. this is a cycle that will repeat until the end of time. any time there's a good idea, it gets upended by greed and cynicism and opportunists.

jesus I really hate this touchpad. HI IM IN UR PARAGRAPHS DELETING AND REPLACING RANDOM SENTENCES

Had 3.6 forever, got 4, then I'm in 5 beta, then 5, than 6 beta, than 6, now fucking 7, this all happened in 2 months.

They claim security and innovation, I claim bullshit.

They're doing it because chrome does it

Yes it's working now, but yesterday it wasn't.

Just run Chromium hourlies :D

Can anyone explain to me as to why firefox is bad? I've had no problems with it and it's faster than i.e and chrome for me.

its pure shit when there are 4 or more youtube or flash vids on a page

IE can have 20 being it starts being choppy when scrolling up and down the page

Thats's because of flash, not firefox itself. When we get rid of flash the web will be much faster.

flash is the internet,

its firefox with all the mem leaks that makes flash slow and choppy, it uses its own hardware acceleration on windows, and some times if its crashed, you cannot open games or movies in another player without restarting windows

on windows, the whole desktop and kernel is hardware accelerated and all part of the core code, you dont need your own in every app like linux

firefox works good and fast for me (linux 64bit). Only thing that "lags" are flash stuff.

I must be one of the lucky ones :p

use chrome for everything except ql, and prism for ql!

i like my opera.
