Firefox is acting up

[★ 1587200]

Every now and again when I click a link, firefox wants to save the html/php file instead of display it. Anyone else having this problem? It happens random on various sites. FF 1.5.0.7

i think they released RC3 of firefox 2 yesterday. sure its just a release candidate, but it may solve your problem, among others.

Less then now and then with me, but yea it happens. I usually just blame the server

 

What extensions do you have? People say the extensions usually cause the bugs in FF.

I've had bugs with the auto update script on nfl.com/scores. It will work for a while, random time frame, sometimes 5 mins then ff crashes, sometimes I can get it for almost an hour before it crashes.

That doesn't happen with Internet Explorer.

[NBVegita]

yeah I know, I have to use ie to run it

But you know what does happen with IE? Your computer gets hijacked becasue MS refuses to make their browser secure to onslaughts from script kiddies who cleverly hide trojans and other malware in sites.

firefox 2 > firefox

 

they finally have allowed you to put bookmark folders in within other bookmark folders which makes books marks usable....

 

firefox 2 seems to eat less memory and be more stable as well imo. download it here

Opera is still ahead of the game. Give it a try.

my IE has not once been hijacked and i loves me porn and warez.

 

honestly if your IE ASSS up, its cause you clicked yes to something you shouldn't have.

well in this new release of firefox, they fixed the problem i had when i tried to bookmark a page.

[★ SOS]

I never had any security issues with IE. It just had bad usability bugs.

 

I only have one complaint about FF: it seems to have some kind of delay of unresponsivness (2-3 seconds) after opening a tab. Probably some extension.

 

I have never encountered the bug under discussion here.

Once IE7 is fully released, I'll go back to it.

 

Tabbed browsing, and just the look of FF is what brought me to it. Also some of the extensions I find nice. Wish IE allowed those.

[Yoink]

IE7 *is* fully released. And it's a piece of junk. Aside from not working too well with Windows Classic theme, it has a whole 'nother set of standards that disagrees with both IE6 and Firefox.

 

So fckin' a.

actually... i regularly use firefox and i have noticed it happening.

 

to fix it, right click the link and click "open in current window" or "open in new tab"

that should work...

or right click and click "copy link location", "copy shortcut", etc. (something like that) and paste it into ur address bar.

Like SD I have yet to have a problem with IE 6 or any other lower versions of IE.

IE 7 which i tested works better then IE6 the only thing is there is no link on the browser to check your e-mail.

 

If you have to do all that rootbear75 to get to a webpage then i would not use ff.

its only a very few select webpages

most of them are FF compatible. only ones that aren't are the ones that use ActiveX Control.

And I have only had that problem a few times, and they were a while ago.

Overall, firefox is a !@#$%^&* ofa lot better than IE.

It just sometimes mistakes a webpage for a downloadable link.
