What is Digg?200 Comments
- gllopc, on 06/26/2008, -1/+81Statements shouldn't end with question marks?
Should have been:
"Why You Will Love Firefox 3", or at least "Why Will You Love Firefox 3?". - brulec, on 06/26/2008, -3/+64I'm Ron Burgundy?
- bitterscream, on 06/26/2008, -4/+42Bookmarks and the "amazing bar".
- BarryDobson, on 06/26/2008, -9/+45oh good. Another Firefox 3 story.
- hasslinthehoff, on 06/26/2008, -2/+34Not for the use of grammar and punctuation in the title, that's fer sure.
- OpeyKicksAss, on 06/26/2008, -4/+23I love it because everyone else loves it...yaayyy following
- tcnarss, on 06/26/2008, -0/+18Go ***** yourself San Diego!
- lcmatt, on 06/26/2008, -3/+20FF3 handles comments without locking up but navigating away from the page causes hassle still. Many times I've had the "stop script or continue" message while trying to close the tab.
If Digg removed all the JS bloat which they seem to love the website would run smoother. (now that Reddit is open source why not take a look at how they handle the comments) - ISurfTooMuch, on 06/26/2008, -3/+17Not sure what your issue is. Digg works just fine for me. In fact, FF3 has been rock solid ever since I got it. Not one crash.
- Frost9999, on 06/26/2008, -3/+15I'm Ron Burgundy?
- bugsysservant, on 06/26/2008, -2/+14Dugg for having already been dugg up by others.
- ho0ber, on 06/26/2008, -0/+12Isn't it the AwesomeBar? And Doesn't everyone hate it because it is huge?
- warbird, on 06/26/2008, -2/+13Yet another FF article with the same content we have seen 10s of times.
- Markpdotcom, on 06/26/2008, -1/+10And that it shows all the porn links you've got stashed! Damn you AwesomeBar! Damn you!
- gusc, on 06/26/2008, -3/+12Yep, much faster startup, but after one week still some 300Mb of RAM consumption.
- JMJimmy, on 06/26/2008, -1/+10I love FF but this version isn't stable. Multiple systems all showing crash bugs when the browser is left minimized, remains in memory after closing, forgets clicks (ie: click link, wait, wait, wait, no timeout error nothing, you have to click again or it acts as if nothing has been clicked besides changing the status message)
Maybe by 3.0.1 they'll get it fixed. - warbird, on 06/26/2008, -0/+8tooth?
- Tyr7BE, on 06/26/2008, -1/+8Because you're using a 486? I hit my firefox shortcut and 1 second later I'm looking at my home page.
- Aidje, on 06/26/2008, -0/+7We need approval from others. Please, love Firefox with us. It will confirm the validity of our own love.
(Please don't think I'm making fun of Firefox users. Well, I guess I am, but only because I am one.) - Markpdotcom, on 06/26/2008, -0/+7No, that was your mom... ;)
- cobophers, on 06/26/2008, -0/+7Touche :(
- sint4x, on 06/26/2008, -1/+8I second the "amazing bar" - It really speaks to my laziness.
That and the improved speed. - xoticpt, on 06/26/2008, -6/+12your right memory leak plugged, b/c it's consuming 115MB of memory for 1 open tab. Thats INSANE. Granted I have 4GB of memory but it's using more memory than an idle session of photoshop.
- FreakyT, on 06/26/2008, -2/+7Are you using Vista? Firefox 3 crashes constantly without reason (with or without plugins/extensions) on many Vista machines.
- schnikies79, on 06/26/2008, -2/+7I'm really not liking the awesome bar, or the new default theme. I would rather have the default 2.x theme.
Other than that, it's pretty good. - mickstephenson, on 06/26/2008, -1/+6Your plugins are not maintained by Mozilla, they will be updated WHEN and IF the maintainer can be bothered. You should be glad that the plugin community exists at all rather than slamming Firefox 3 for something that is out of Mozilla's hands.
- subliminalurge, on 06/26/2008, -0/+5Yep. This computer that I'm on now, while not a speed demon by any stretch of the imagination, still runs everything I throw at it just fine and without delays. Except a digg page. Stories with 300 or so comments can peg my CPU to 100% for several minutes at a time.
This comment system is, to use a technical term, a huge pile of *****. It's way too bloated and resource intensive given the limited functionality it offers. - malfourmed, on 06/26/2008, -0/+5And most of the time the crash doesn't invoke the Mozilla crash reporting tool either which makes it more difficult to feed diagnostics info back to Mozilla.
Vista's diagnosis message indicates (in my case at least) that mozcrt19.dll is almost always the fault module, though js3250.dll has also been reported.
My copy of Firefox 3 crashes about a dozen times a day - on all sorts of websites (including very basic HTML pages, ie no Flash, Java or Javascript) and regardless of whether I'm actively using the browser or not (though it quite often falls over when I'm typing in the awesome bar).
Luckily with the Session Manager add-on this instability (whether caused by FF, Vista or both) is only annoying rather than totally frustrating. - praetorian1, on 06/26/2008, -6/+11It's a web browser not a ***** religion.
I understand if people like it better than the other alternatives, but why the hell do people care so deeply that OTHER people like it, too? - br0ck, on 06/26/2008, -1/+5Are you using any of the 'problematic extensions'?
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
Have you tried the standard diagnostics? (Run in safe mode or create a new profile and see if things are better.) http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Fi ...
One nice add-on if you need to do a clean re-install is the password backup and restore add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/284 ... - kupa, on 06/26/2008, -1/+52nd*
- bronskrat, on 06/26/2008, -0/+4Safari 4 FTW, you mean.
- Atomic1fire, on 06/26/2008, -0/+4Its not internet explorer with a different toolbar
Internet explorer and firefox are completely different browsers
with completely different setups
Internet explorer is embeded into windows which unfortionatly means restarting the computer when you need to update or uninstall an update
firefox is able to do well without playing with your windows installation
Firefox's toolbar can be modify rather easily using using view>toolbar>customize
and you can also do it by left clicking the top menu area
try using IE7with menu bar before you call firefox thick
as IE7 is slightly thicker but you can remove the bookmark bar in firefox and the menubar in IE7 and it still is thicker then firefox - NJHiker, on 06/26/2008, -0/+4No. Twoth.
- cobophers, on 06/26/2008, -2/+6Did firefox 3.0 cook me breakfast this morning?
- nklynx, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3ZOMG FIREFOX 3 IS AWESOME!!!!, it's so awesome that i digg every single digg post with firefox (all 1 million of them) in the title because it's such an underdog browser. We have to spread the word to the 2 remaining ppl on the world wide web that don't know about this heavenly piece of compiled code.
....yeah, anyways, Firefox 3 is a good browser, I've been using it now 50 / 50 with Opera (my favorite for the longest while).
I use Opera to get my research done quickly, firefox for leisure stuff.
Firefox is just a tool not a cause / religion.
Move along. - kupa, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3fyi: you can turn that off so FF3's address bar is the same as FF2's. I can't imagine switching back to FF2's memory leaks and slowness because of one feature personally.
- Lyk4n, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3At this point, choosing which browser you prefer is like choosing your religion, no certain one is better, as long as you don't pick Scientology or IE7 and below..
- jameshighmore, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3That's exactly how it sounded in my head.
- jcaino, on 06/26/2008, -1/+4It's faster and slicker than greased-up deaf guy.
- mickstephenson, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3Even with 'cruise control for cool' firmly engaged that comment sucked.
- AntoniusMaximus, on 06/26/2008, -3/+6I just can't accurately describe how Firefox is superior. It just "feels" better. IE still feels like a patchwork front-end for a tentacular back-end solution, while Firefox feels like an extension of the Internet. It -is- the Internet. I don't know if I am conveying this properly, but this is the feeling I always had, and it strengthened with every release.
- bblande, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3Comment buried for inaccurately calling it the "amazing bar."
It's the awesome bar, and it's not *that* awesome...but the speed of FF3 is. - hiPpymIck, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3did you try AdBlock Plus..that produces a very noticeable improvement over IE7 haha
if you learn how to use it - Cooliris is like a magic spare screen and Btw its also compatible with IE7
you have to prepared to spend hours trying different add ons..but its worth it in the end IMHO - Omega037, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3Those mem leaks in 2.0 were the bane of my existence. New version still has a few kinks to work out, but is nothing like the "restart firefox every 3 hours" that was going on before.
- FreakyT, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3Sounds like you're having the same problem I'm having--I'm seriously considering switching back to IE if they don't fix the problems.
- Gudeldar, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3Firebug works just fine with FF3, I think the problem is that the FF2 version doesn't automatically update to the FF3 version when you update to FF3.
- sandersdamnit, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3the "ccc" ain't cool with me
- Markpdotcom, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3My FF3 is soooo slow to start, anyone else experiencing that?
I have a 3GHZ, 2GB, laptop.
Once its open its great, and I like how it automatically saves your opened tabs now when exiting! Should have been like that from the start! -
