I installed 1.5.0.7 but the bug still here. I love FF but this is really bugging me. I wait for next version then if it continues I will give up and try Opera.

[...] Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 wow, my websites that get no traffic at all have earned 6.26 in the last 4 days Though its just a work machine :-/ i dont even think they’re indexed in google must be my clicks from work, haha Imagine how much you’d make if they were coming NeB{wRk}? ya, i’m designing a site up to actually try and market it pretty soon gonna give it a try Or just get people to use your search and adsense search ID and get $$ from the sponser links. $6.26 per month? oh 4 days Like for our visitors we encourage them to use our search to search google to help support our site. ah shit, so you got $6.26 for 4 days? that’s over $1 per click, oh shit lol unless you used proxies or something but i have a feeling google detects proxies 8 clicks, 4.26, 1 software referral, 2.00 Wow, nice. oh, nice.. wonder how much those other heavy-traffic sites get im thinking a good amount based on my goofing around test We find we do about $5CPM i’ve made my decision with apple it sucks balls On a bad month $2CPM, and a great month $12CPM good design, but it sucks balls macosx is horrible.. it just looks good, that’s all Really? I kinda dig it. what do you like about it besides it being good-looking, what do you like about it? That its got a command prompt behind it and can run normal apps I do hate that you can’t fucking maximize a window. normal apps? oh, well that’s ’cause it’s based on BSD exacube = the use of the mouse always that’s what I like about mac set aside the BSD characteristics, wtf I can alt-tab and click on the program I want |pit: not having a right click? no nononon that I absolutely hate lol Na, its got right click. I have a right click mouse right here. I have one too =P the new ones do, cause of critics And on their mousepads, laptops, just use two fingers on the keypad then click and its a right click. i like osx they got caught up on design, they thought it would look cool with just one button.. it worked, but it got irritating in a few minutes memory hog. agree with me here one button mice were a GAY moment the design team had I like the stability (bsd) and I like the bundled apps. japanese demeanor is so delightfully sober no the OS doesn’t hog memory really ja it does boot up osx check memory more than goddamn windows hell no not on this machine which dual boots both can you check? oh, you have a mactel? tasm, is that google search referral thing where they let you customize the results page and such? well, i don’t like macosx as much as i like linux nop i have a beige box built with indentical hardware to the mactel dev boxes infact, i like windows over macosx so yeah its a mactel in a sense NeB{wRk} Ya. but its not a branded mac. Its through adsense. i don’t mind windows.. i just hate IE, which causes most of the havoc True ie7 is … ok ish Windows isn’t terrible. But once spyware takes hold, yer fucked. ie7 is deviated the address bar is above the menu my new gevalia 12 cup coffee maker that i got for 14.99 kicks ass _PhAnTaSm: don’t let it yeah exacube i hate that OSX cause of (bsd) the way users are defined, if spyware gets on it, you just backup that one user, then toast them. i don’t know what the whole thing about spyware is.. i never had it once the address bar is annoying exacube, nor have I… but I’ve tried cleaning off a LOT of machines that have had it, and its a nightmare. heh same here well.. only people who don’t know how to use the OS get it and this is most of the world Sadly, yes. easiest is to just go to msconfig, startup tab and check off everything you don’t trust not that easy for most spyware and then go on safe mode, run Windows AntiSpyware, and bam they get clever some of it is notoriously difficult to remove you what i think it’s firefox spyware,.. meet rootkit, rootkit, keep on doing doing your sony stunts firefox is a RAM HOG i never used IE after firefox.. that must be the reason Firefox is a HUGE hogg. yeah it is, but it’s worth it Heh like 500megs+ at times. leaks ram like crazy altho doesn’t leak uses, but not leak uhm yes it does Ya, if you keep FF open for too long, it’ll start hangin on ya. its a bug since 1.03 that hasn’t been fixed or earlier its a well known bug infact. hm That whole can’t cut and paste bug is fucking annoying with FF too. never leaked for me cut/paste? elaborate? http://neosmart.net/blog/archives/181 <– it doesn’t, I’ve had 1.5.0.4 for a few days now and it still happens, just less so. Firefox using 500MB of RAM is not a memory leak That is, indeed, the intended effect hey cai can you say bloated? exacube: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/20889 Howdy I spoke to my boss about hiring you and well And? it’s in the process of decision They would actually hire me as middle man http://digg.com/software/Firefox_1.5_Review_by_PC_Magazine and I would send most of the work to you cause they can’t pay you directly anyways I should have a decision next week Good enough for me I think FF uses so much mem for me, becasue I use tabs like crazy, where as I very rarely had that many seperate windows open. if they decide to go this way they will have to create a contract and shit takes a few days to clear I’ll often times open 15+ tabs altho.. turning of the feature that allows it to use memory to cache pages So I guess its unfair to call it a hog. or limiting it helped me a lot _PhAnTaSm: it stores in memory the cache from 10 past pages for each tab i limited browser.cache.memory to 16mb in about:config and it sped it up loads. yeah, cache is good way to keep it down Ah. its still a ram pig tho :> it has a default 50mb cache limit StyleZed: it still kicks all the other browser’s ass though I’ve never actually done either of those, but they would probably help quite a bitReturn to #phpor Go to some related logs:#netcafe#perl#mircsharia pk#chatzone#politics#allnitecafe#politics#linuxgnash fc5 x64 Name: [...]

A bug like this can definitely be the end of the line for Firefox. Because of this, I’m not forced to abandon the browser entirely and go to another provider. Never knew how valuable copy and paste were until they were gone for good… If anyone out there has a workable solution to this, PLEASE let me know as I’ve spent ALL DAY trying to fix it… and this one What dax702 is refering to is not the usual Copy/Paste Bug that’s been going in for years (the one where copy/paste doesn’t work sometimes and then works again), but a new one after the 1.5.0.2 upgrade. For some users (including me) the copy functions is not working at all. Crtl-C, right click menu or Edit-Menu – no copy command has any effect on the clipboard (but they are not grey). Same for “Copy Link Location”. You can still paste from other applications. I tried downgrading to 1.5.0.1 and upgrading to 2.0a but the problem persists. And of course I checked for new.net and haven’t installed any new software except FireFox 1.5.0.2. I can understand dax702, this thing drives you nuts. Help, please! JAK23/9/2006 11:59:38 PM In the forum I was reading it said you can still use Crtl V & Ctrl C – not sure if it’s correct or not, but you might like to try it. Tropicals24/9/2006 12:01:22 AM I dont feel so bad now seeing its not anything i have done strange how everyones firefox is doing it, i wonder what triggers it as some people say it worked for months and some say a few weeks before the prob started Please log in to post or reply to a messageIf you are not yet a member, click here to join EmailCash. islog=false;document.rf.gender.selectedIndex=0;document.rf.age0.selectedIndex=0;document.rf.age1.selectedIndex=6;document.mf.exp.value=1; [...]
