Do all you FF users run greasemonkey with the FreeRepublic scripts? You can get tree view, video embedding and form posting enhancement. Good stuff!

I really like Ghostery!

Firefox’s rapid-release is one of the most asinine ideas any software company every came up with.

Extension/Add-on developers, many of whom develop those extensions as a sideline, are not able to keep up with the rapid-release INSANITY.

I have some extensions that the developers ceased updating with the FF6 release.

Firefox has lost touch with reality. People use Firefox to be more productive. Rapid-release actually hampers real-world productivity.

Firefox still has memory leakage and memory consumption problems. I recently noticed sluggishness with FF. I had only one tab windows open. I loaded Task Manager and found Firefox consuming over 900mb of RAM.

The Old-and-Broken 8012 has already gone into Testing, and Nightly is at 8045. It’s the New Hotness.

8045 is so 27 seconds ago.

[Mozilla, please STOP THE INSANITY!]

I solved my memory problem: I downloaded an extension that put “restart” on my file menu. I restart occasionally without even thinking about it. All of my opened tabs are there after restart.

I wish I could get FF on this iPad. Safari isn’t bad, but....

I use several of those extensions you list.

Sadly, Screengrab is no longer upgraded.

from the developer:

FF changes too fast and I don't have the time to maintain it anymore. Bugs have developed that I am not in a position to investigate.

Therefore, Screengrab is EOL. Sorry.

I already told you that, didn’tt I? And now I’ve told you in triplicate. It pays toay attention to whom one is posting!

[Berlin_Freeper]

I do now.

Than You! :)

I was a longtime Firefox user but have made the switch to Chrome and have been quite happy there. I think FF suffers from both code bloat and organizational bloat - don’t think they’re lean and mean either as a code base or as an organization.

The ONLY Bitch I have w/ Firefox is the lastest version (9.0.1) has problems with or will NOT bring up .pdf files, They just FREEZE!

Question:
I installed Greasemonkey and restarted. I clicked on the FR Treeview install script button, but the Greasemonkey script installation panel doesn’t pop up. Any ideas about what I need to do?

I have no idea what you are posting about? The referenced post was regarding Firefox, its extenstions, and its memory consumption.

[ArrogantBustard]

This reminds me of an Apple Commercial.

Yep. Written by a bunch of commies. "Principle over profit" ... "greater good" ... "making a difference" ...

I think I'll puke.

Is there another decent browser that isn't written by a bunch of self-righteous, leftist, urban poofters?

[dayglored]

What?!?!? 36 comments already, and nobody has posted this? I guess I'll have to do it myself...

Just the form posting enhancements so far -- GREAT STUFF!!

I had enough this morning and imported all my bookmarks into chrome. :(

So true. FF is on version 9 and I'm still on v 3.6.25 and will be until they quit doing security upgrades. There are ways to force continued use of some add-ons that have not been updated, but it would be better if they didn't put out a new version every other month.
