Firefox 2.0

Also try scrolling up to a few posts above, where someone named Cyrus something or other talks of a link in this thread to the dev version of that plugin which works with 2.0. Might just be an idea to try.

Ah, found a similar thing with the imageshack right-click extension =D

I think that my Firefox 2.0 may be broken. I've got ads where now where I didn't have them before. My Filterset.G got updated, and did something to my Adblock settings. I've tried to change my settings back, but it's not having it. I hate ads.

Anyone got any ideas? Or do I just go back to my old Firefox?

EDIT: I've gone back to FIrefox 1.5, and I'm still getting ads.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Filterset.G isn't totally up-to-date. Sites do change their ads, you know.

FELIPE NO

But it's the same ads that I was seeing before I got Filterset.G.

I guess I can live with it, for now. But if anyone can tell me a way to set up Adblock properly, again, it would be much appreciated.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Tell me which site you go to and I might be able to get you a new blocking rule for those ads.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Holy Zen, that's nifty. :3

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Here on GFF, Mininova, Imageshack, Telegraph.co.uk, well actually more or less every site I go on has ads now, well, I can see them now.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well that's spy/adware. I'd suggest getting some Anti-Spyware and cleansing your system.

Okay, I'll give my PC a scan.

The first is one of the ads that I get on here, I never used to see them when my Adblock was working. And the second is pulled off imageshack, again, another site that I never saw ads on.
I think it could be more to do with my Adblock settings rather than adware/ spyware, but I'll do a scan anyway.

EDIT: Done. Nothing but cookies

EDIT 2: Seems I've managed to hide the ads on here, I blocked something called "iFrames". Still having trouble with other sites though, especially flash ads.

The Google ads are part of GFF, though I don't see why anyone should care. Personally, I hardly ever even notice them.

Strangely, after I upgraded to FF2.0, I started getting an error message when shutting down - labelled something along the lines of "XPCOM Event Receiver Error".

Dunno if its caused by FF2 - since I've been installing a bunch of softwares at the time. But after searching through the Mozillazine forums, I found others are getting the exact same error after installing Firefox 2. Anyone here have the problem?

I haven't, and I've installed it more than once. XD Were there any common factors between your setup and theirs, listed in the forums? (Extensions installed, form of shutting down ["close" vs using Windows Task Manager], so on and so forth)

nice find

i may also recommend the following extensions:
DownThemAll! - great for downloading images, i use it at 4chan a lot
Fasterfox - makes browsing the internet faster because of more concurrent connections (broadband only please)
Tab Catalog - lets you view thumbnails of all your tabs, similar to a new feature in IE

How ya doing, buddy?

Say, was anybody else using keyboard shortcuts for using forms (like the message boxes on GFF)? You used to be able to hit alt-S to submit a message, but now it just focuses the menu bar and opens History. Anyone know how to change it back?

yea i miss doing that too!

not many people know of that shortcut

So how exactly does FasterFox work? Can I get a simple explanation?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

For the last time IT DOESN'T. All it'll do is get any competent sysadmin to ban your ass.

FasterFox is the Internet Equivalent of ringing someone's doorbell 3 times a second until they show up. They might get there a tiny bit faster but they'll be pissed as hell because you're damaging their shit. It's INCREDIBLY impolite to have so many concurrent connections.

I was speaking idiomatically.

before i download, is it really that much better, necessary?

A good explanation can be found on Wikipedia. Also there's a little diagram that explains it:

.

To be honest, I don't really notice a difference with fasterfox on or off. I use it still as it shows a neat little timer that shows me how long it took to load the page (eg. this thread, 0.891s). I'm aware of the extra load I'll get by people browsing sites on my server with fasterfox, though I don't ban it.

FELIPE NO

Ok, a rather late update on the XPCOM error. I managed to get rid of it, and its caused by one of these things:

- the DOM window structure checker add-on/extension which comes with the browser (you'd have to uninstall it)
- Adobe Acrobat reader - updating it to the latest version seemed to have worked for some people
- Anti-phishing feature

Yep, that's it. Want to know if anyone who's not been getting the error have any of the above active? If not, I'm guessing those are the causes - anyway, haven't had the error for several weeks now. FF works once again, though 1.5 is still more stable overall, I feel (I never had trouble with javascripts before, for instance...). Still, the new features are hard to let go of.

Ever thought the problem could be coming from your "unstable trash" system?

I lol'd. I've had some stupid crashes myself, but it's only on some retarded websites (usually porn sites). The problem is definately the user, the computer, or a website coded by idiots.

hehe, the person that made me adopt Firefox years ago quoting me in the Firefox 2.0 thread. Oh, destiny ~

Sup Cam. Glad to see you around. =)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've just updated to version 2.0 and so far it works like a charm. Now I'd like to apply some tweaks to the software, though.

Where can I find the option to set the maximum pixel width for any tab?

Ok, so I'm running Firefox 2.0 on Ubuntu here, and I am constantly trying to use the backspace button to go back in my browser. Unfortunately, all it does is bring me to the top of the web page I'm viewing. Does anyone know how I can get this to work like that?
