    I'm getting close to sacking FF for good

    I've had a nightmare of a week with FF. It's constantly corrupting my cookies, can't load gmail (goes into an endless loop), cant access a lot of portions of ms, few other cookie heavy sites I visit. Short of losing all my favs, passwords, logins etc. and getting starting from scratch, I just think I'm going to roll back to IE.

    first install xmarks (or foxmarks, whatever it's called)

    then create a new FF profile

          you want the world's largest data-miner to now (possibly) track your every point and click + dark secret of the places you visit on the web and wish no one would ever know?

          that is the single biggest reason I never moved to chrome. google tracks enough about you to learn about you. scarily, if you're logged into gmail in 1 tab and do google searches in the next tab, it now builds a history of every keyword you search tagged to your email address. then, it uses that information to show you ads. what stops them from selling that personal info?

              I don't get it Kamal, how come you're having so many problems with FF? Which version are you on? Could it be some extension conflict?

                for a forum that has been so outspoken about the invulnerability of FF, this comes as a bit of a shock...glad I've never used it now.

                It was fun while it lasted...

                      No problems on my end at all. Macbook Pro, 10.5.6, FF 3.5.2.

                          My problems just started, in fact I'm even having problems posting on ms, some of the threads that tom and me have going in the back end, I cant' even start to reply to them because the cursor never appears in quick reply box no matter how many times I click in it, I'm resorting to calling him now. I still can't get gmail to load well and its driving me insane.

                          I dont have too many extensions, just No script, and this IP plugin which shows the IP of the server I am connected to. Other than that, I'm running the latest version of FF and these problems just started randomly so I have no clue what is causing them

                            Try running it with a clean profile and see what happens?

                              well, i'm not so big on ff either, but i run a few add-ons that are essential to me so i stick with it:

                              addons:


                              noscript
                              flashblock
                              adblock plus


                              opera is also really good, i use that sometimes in tandem and is relatively light in resources. but me, because i don't like flash animation on every single site i visit (along with the ads) ff i will stay with.

                              i've also had hang-ups etc but i'm running beta version 3.5 on linux. the windows computers i run all work fine. so not sure about your problems Kamal...

                              I like a bit of opera. In response to your ff addons, I don't know specifics but I guess you can emulate with opera:

                              noscript -- the F12 menu lets you turn javascript etc on and off and each site can have custom preferences I think.
                              flashblock -- http://my.opera.com/Lex1/blog/flashblock-for-opera-9 (not quite a one click install but works like a charm if you know what you are doing)
                              adblock plus -- right click on a page and "block content..." can block content!
