It's been a fun decade, but you've gotten older and haven't kept up with the times.  You're not the same speedy browser you were in 2005.

Your pitiful handling of Javascript is what has finally forced me to stop using you as my preferred browser.  You simply can't keep up with the web *today*.  Too many pages and sites cause you to lock up and go all frigid on me, and that's not what I'm looking for in a 'web companion.  I've moved on to a different girlfriend.

Example: the link below loads in under 2 seconds with Chrome.  I just did a fresh, absolutely clean install of Firefox 32 (making certain that no remnants of earlier versions existed on the drive or Registry), and you froze for well over a minute before attempting to display the page.  Even after you'd displayed it, you wanted to lock and freeze on me, coughing up hairballs instead of letting me download some PRON.  I had to TERMINATE you with the Task Manager.

 

Here's the link I attempted to load:  http://wcrypt.com/I7d6MxjE


Your open, extensible architecture is what kept me coming back for over 9 years, but the 'web has advanced significantly in the last few years, and you're just not up to viewing it any longer.  If I have large downloads running, you freeze up on a new page and they abort.  That's NOT acceptable behavior, old girl!  Chrome may not have all of your features, but so far it hasn't hit a page that it can't display without going all "staring at your navel" on me.

We're done, Firefox.  Good luck in your next incarnation.  Something is horribly wrong if your bad behavior sparks a *meme*...

Rope fiend I located your real problem. It wasn't Firefox that was slowing you down, it was Windows!

Wow, really?  You mean there's something other than WINDOWS?  :emot_kiss:

I use FF, and I tried your link - loaded fully in maybe a second.

Same here. But FF has put some shit in my updates and I ended up with pop-ups. Earlier today I looked at this site and it had ads! I had to re-set FF to get them to go away.

Never had any issues with Firefox, it was recommended and it's still as good as the first time I used it, much like my first vibrator ;D

You mean you have more than one? Or you wore your first out?   ;D

I never had luck with either Firefox or Chrome.  Works good at some places but not at others.

Watcher, which porn sites didn't it work good on? I want to ensure I bypass those.

I use chrome for most all of my porn. Incognito seems to work very well along with spam blocker

A couple browsing tips.  Disable Adobe Flashplayer's ability to load.  Install Adblock. This will stop a lot of your browser bogging down and autoplaying videos.  I've found more problems are caused on my browser by Flashplayer locking up than strictly by Firefox.

You can always choose afterward to allow certain pages to load Flashplayer -such as Youtube- or it will ask you if you'd like manually to allow it for that page once.

I use Firefox as well Rope. I downloaded the site in ~ 3 seconds.
I'm certainly far from being a computer whiz. I build them fine, but when it comes to software, my fix is to normally swear like a priest till the son-in-law comes over and fixes whatever went wrong.
I haven't had any problems with malware,viruses,worms, etc, although it does freeze up on me occasionally. I just do a hard boot and everything seems fine afterwards. con-alt-del doesn't work for me when my computer freezes.
I use Norton 360, and also have Malware Pro, Ccleaner Pro and AdFender,all which I update and run every week. I have Chrome but haven't used it.
I agree with Athos_131. Over 90% of the time I've found Flash player to be the culprit when my computer freezes.

I've been having Firefox problems for the past month or so, and I was at my wit's end.

I just did the two things Athos recommended, and it now works perfectly.

Thanks!

My Mozilla browser has been wonky as fuck too!

I have been using Chrome instead. I kinda like it, but I miss a couple of cool things about Firefox. I still have it for those "couple" reasons.

Maybe Chrome will eventually add 'auto lick' and 'auto dildo' to their list of features too Gina.  :emot_tongue: :emot_rotf:

Looking over the original post -- there's a complaint about JavaScript having poor handling in FF.

Jeepers!  Turn it off!  Turn JavaScript off, and only enable it on trusted sites. 

Chrome, with its JavaScript handling-by-default -- and any Browser that lets JavaScript run willy-nilly -- is going to be a steal-your-personal-information-including-Credit-Cards Nightmare.

Turn it off.  Just be safe.

Sounds like that will slow down my downloading of porn quite a bit SJ.  :emot_weird: Definitely a no no!  ;D

I used FF until it got infected with some add-ware, then switched to Iron.  Iron is a SourceForge.net stripped down version of Chrome.  The advantage of using Iron was that it stripped out the privacy invading crap that comes with Chrome.    But then Iron ceased to work correctly and I went to chrome.

Then computer died and I switched back to my laptop using XP and a very old version of FF.  Guess what?  it works great!
