Latest version of Firefox has been paralyzed for handling web page graphics

I just updated to Firefox version 38.0.1 from version 35. This late update is due to an unfortunate twist practices for a long time, which requires Firefox installs to be interactive. Now an update takes several hours of phone + line tied up, so it is done only rarely.

Once I could just download the package during one of my occasional bouts (of our days, almost every week) a connection high flow, pass on to my computer via a USB flash drive, and then install Firefox in moments, without any internet connection active. It was much higher than the current method.

The point of this letter, however, is a major fault in the 38.0.1 version, which makes it useless for most of my work. I need to know how to return to a better version of Firefox that works properly. > > > > > > Put online, publish, I found the link that hopefully, gt back me to the old version, but I still want this post somewhere where he could get some attention because the current situation is extremely poor. < < < < < <

For more than a year, I wanted to write about a problem that became much worse with this latest version of the browser, but I never managed to work up the energy and the time - my problems made the slightest difference to anyone developing the browser code, I always asked? It looked like a long shot.

Much of my time online is spent downloading of pages of graphs, tables, diagrams and occasional pictures. Because, I suppose, my normal 52 KB/s connection speed is too slow, after 15 to 25 minutes needed to fetch the page of interest, a large percentage of these illustrations show only one link, not the image itself. Right click on the links provided, one option "reload image" from the context menu. By clicking on that would load the image on the page, in place, making it usable article (it is often necessary to get a dozen or three dozen, graphics in this way).

An interesting aspect of this finishing process, it's the very many graphics loaded so completely, almost immediately. Some required 20 seconds, 30, 60 or more, but not the majority.

Failure that I often wanted to communicate to the subject, but never fact, unfortunately, is that some graphics began to load with the page, but somewhere before they finished, perhaps 10%, maybe 95%, they would stop. The lower part of the graph would then show just a black fill, or sometimes a white fill (empty). These partial graphs has never had the option "Reload image" from the context menu.

The option 'Copy image location' has been in the context menu... If I chose, I could try to paste it into a new tab address bar or a new window. This produces the exact same partial graph, indicating that it must be taken from the browser cache/history/something already downloaded part, rather than its source.

"Reload image" always read the chart full, but using the location of the image on these partial graphics, even though it was clearly a web address, has no. To get the complete picture for these partially loaded graphics, I had to close the browser that by my settings, erases always each part of the story. Then using the location of the copied image above, I was able to load the graphic on the web. This has never been useful for the study of an article.

A few times, I've experimented by 'reload the current page'. It was clear that it was not as a useful solution. It can load charts missing or incomplete, taking another 20 minutes to redo the page, but it also ignored, or only partially loaded, graphics that were present and complete the first time the page is loaded. What are the images have been provided only in the form of tags, or are incomplete, seems to be random.

Another flaw is that, pretty often. the images I had to reload were released on the page that it loaded, but then disappear before the end of the loading page. This seems particularly bad performance, since the data obviously had been correctly downloaded. However, I could at least reload these images after loading the page.

I experience a number of times where I had access to high-speed broadband. I've never known completely empty or partially loaded images, so I assumed the difficulty as a feature of my line connection telephone slow. NO, I can't afford a connection high speed, period, for sure, even if having one would be very nice...

In the old version of browser, where 'Reload image' was an option, the obvious difficulty for the problem above with partially loaded images would have been to always provide the option "reload image", no matter if the image was missing completely, partially loaded, or fully charged - always reload the website, never to leave already downloaded material. Simply put the reload option in the context menu for all charts and check that it still works properly.

Now, Firefox version 38 is much worse. It doesn't have the option "reload image". In its place is 'View image' replacing my entire page loaded painfully slowly, with the missing image. If the image is completely absent (a single a tag e.g. "fig 3a"), I can use the 'copy the location of the image', which paste it in a new tab and get the picture on this new tab. It is a very inconvenient way to try to read an article, especially when 27 graphics didn't load the first time.

I only watched two these pages since the browser update. None of these finished with images partially responsible (although they all had two images only as tags), so I don't know if the location of the image 'copy' to a partial image, pasted into a new tab always will only provide the same partial graph. However, this problem, compared to the current impossibility of 'image' Reload in place on the page, is indeed minor.

I can't do the job that I have to do if I can't get the downloaded material. I need a previous version browser which has at least the Reload menu popup "image" option I hope this option will also discount on future versions. It would be really good if the image reload option would be still available for each graph, as described above. Right now I need to know how to revert to the version 26, or a later version that still has the option "reload image".

It sounds like the extension to display selected Images is the best solution, but for later use on the context menu: If you hold down the CTRL key when you click on View Image, it will be directed to a new tab, and if you hold down the SHIFT key when you click on View Image, it will be directed to a new window.
