• Why FireFox 13 works differently on my desktop and laptops? On my desk, I have the old menu system that I prefer, but on my laptop, it's the new version.

  13 Firefox is the browser by default on my desktop and laptop, however, they have different menu systems. Why?

  On my desk, I have the old menu system that I prefer no doubt because everything is in English and easy to see and search. For example, on the menu desktop there a Tools option where I can quickly erase my history and cache.

  But on my laptop, it's the new paradigm where several menu commands are hidden and difficult to find, therefore, I do not like this new design. I don't understand why Firefox made this change, when the old system was much better and more effective.

  Is there a way I can get the old system menu back on my laptop?

  Thank you

  1. I'm not running XP, I use Win 7 on both systems.

  2. nothing happened when I pressed the ALT key, the menu bar does not show upward and I'm frustrated. However, I kept trying, hold the ALT key and finally he appeared. I then checked the menu bar, and it seems as if it worked.

  Thanks for your help.

• Anti-aliasing of fonts not embedded

  I read that Flash Player 10 introduced a new text engine that provides anti-aliasing of device fonts, or fonts that are not incorporated.  How can I take advantage of this in Flex?  I have Flex Builder 3.0.214193.  The documentation says I should use built-in fonts to get anti-aliasing.  And indeed, if I do not incorporate fonts, I certainly don't get any anti-aliasing.

  Thanks in advance!

  None of the Flex 3.x components can use this feature.  You can put your own text on screen using flash.text.engine classes, if you want.  Flex 4 components will be able to do.

• Why firefox has become bloated and lazy like IE?

  I tried like hell to stick with firefox, but it became useless.

  Installation of costs, on a new installation of operating system on a PC with 8 cores@3ghz and 32 GB of ram, and firefox is STILL SLOW!

  More than 10 tabs == random crash for a few seconds / minutes
  Have more than 5 tabs and close one that it blocks a few seconds to a minute.
  Have more than 10 tabs open, select "Close other tabs" after the tabs, FF hangs for 30-90 seconds.

  After the closure of the tabs, CPU utilization pulls up to this core... I say for this kernel, because the limit of mozilla firefox for one heart, which wouldn't be so bad, except EVERYTHING ON THE SYSTEM HANGS waiting for THAT ONE CORE to CATCH THE FUCK UP!

  Add on top of that firefox looking more and more like the chrome... I mean.. Firefox is essentially like having the version slow, delayed, shit smell of chrome...

  PLEASE GO BACK TO WHAT MADE YOU FAMOUS!

  A light and fast browser.

  NOBODY WANTS OR NEEDS ALL THAT USELESS GARBAGE YOU KEEP SHOVELLING AWAY!

  Here's an idea, before avant d' ajouter to add more code buggy nonsense that serves nothing real other than to make you look more like a bastardised version of chrome, why don't you actually fix crap buggy, slow garbage code have already set you up?

  STOP TRYING TO BE LIKE THE CHROME! IF I WANTED CHROME FUCKING, I HAD TO INSTALL IT!

  If the next version of Firefox is nothing else than to fix the many problems causing slow performance and high CPU usage, I'll be moving to chrome and leave Firefox and Mozilla to continue its business of a slow and painful death walk down.

  @the-edmeister thanks for the typical canned answer, I am pleased to see that copy - paste works always.

  Canned responses do not work, because the situation is based on a new installation of the operating system and a new installation of firefox.
  All the drivers on the system is new and up-to-date.

  I ALWAYS run through the basic troubleshooting list. If I had found a solution for poor performance and hogging CPU memory/crappy, I him have not posted here.

  @jscher2000
  Thanks for the link, but I had already tried it, work with no joy.

  As for the rest of the answer, I have a few comments and questions:

  Statement: "Mozilla's mission is to drive the web forward, which is to introduce new technologies constantly in Firefox."

  Comment: Change the GUI to work and look like Chrome is not new and innovative. It is simply duplicating someone else's ideas.

  Statement: "at the same time, developers constantly working to improve the efficiency of memory."

  Comment: since when? Over the years, whenever FF has "updated" the memory usage has increased. On rare occasions, it has also introduced memory leaks, or attempted to hide or split to its own use of memory in the secondary threads... plugin-container for a good idea, is an example that has been poorly implemented.

  Statement: "because the browser code is open source, others have used it to create products that look more like older versions of Firefox, or gathered for 64-bit systems, etc..". You can check those and decide if they are more productive for you than the official version. »

  Question: Where might these alternatives. Simply Googling turns a myriad of other browsers, Chrome for most of the results. Versions of firefox based very little I could find are the pale Moon and waterfox.
  Others are based on the FF are for most * nix flavors or specialized for users of niche such as cat and iceweasle for gnu and debian ice respectively, and wyzo based on niche media downloads.

  I understand that Firefox is open source, and if I had the time team, Fund and development to devote to creating a browser standard, basic, no frills, using their source, I would have already.

  My problem is not with Firefox itself, but the struggle continues Mozilla comply Firefox for chrome UI, while gradually adding bloat, instability and some "features" unnecessary which are not needed or requested by users.

  I get that Mozilla tries to innovate. But adding bloat and tracking features of data or features that cannot be used unless the tracking data is enabled is a huge slap in the face of almost all those who have started using firefox because it objected to these measures implemented in other browsers at the time.

  The entire reason why firefox became so popular was because it worked, was quick and did not use all of the system cpu and ram. Why? because at that time, it had all the bells, whistles, gadgets, door knockers, the banana seat, ape-hanger handlebars and a chrome-plated stand... Remove all trash, and the browser would be more likely to cut its use of CPU and memory in two, if not more.

  And Yes... This has turned into a feedback session.
  No, I didn't intend to let him be.
  No, I will not create a survey of 'feedback '... I've done done several times over the years, and as is typical of mozilla, they simply ignore it and do the opposite.

• Why Firefox always tells me that Adobe plug-ins must be updated, when I've just updated beyond the versions them says Firefox update?

  On the status of the plug-in page, Firefox said I have potentially vulnerable Adobe Flash player c. 19.0.0.185 and should be updated. I have already taken this opinion but Adobe confirms that my version is 19.0.0.226. I ran the update at least twice (and of course I restarted Firefox several times and refreshed the page for good measure). Why Firefox think I always c. 19.0.0.185?

  Essentially the same story with Adobe Reader plug-in 15.9.20069.28170. Firefox said I have this outdated version and should be updated. I ran the update at least twice (but unlike with Flash Player I don't know how to confirm that the update is installed). The version that Firefox says I have and advice to update, has not changed.

  I've updated two plug-ins yesterday. Immediately after the update, when I refreshed the page status of the plugin, these plug-ins have disappeared from lists "vulnerable" or "outdated". It's only the Adobe Flash Player and Reader plug-in updates (which I did yesterday) that Firefox seems to blind. I waited a day to see if Firefox would recognize the edits today, but it still does not work. On this page of presentation of the question, "Assumptions" of Firefox on my current browser list older versions of Adobe Flash Player and Reader that I've already updated since.

  Plugins are installed on the system and not in Firefox. So he can tell you were the same when you installed know that it is usually because you have two system installed an older version of Flash Player.

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Flash-Player/KB/uninstall-Flash-Player-Windows.html

  Maybe try to uninstall all versions of Flash Player (basic plugin) and install the current https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (basic plugin), while Firefox is closed.

• FF 27 - my fonts are pixely and I can't understand why.

  Hello friends,

  About 4 weeks ago, fonts on all the pages I visit using Firefox became pixely (some letters appear in bold, the lines seem to be low resolution, etc.). I tried the following steps to fix without success:

  -Update of FF 27
  -Reset by default
  -Turn off hardware acceleration

  Here is a link to a comparison of the FF27 vs Chrome vs IE screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/f8EBC6p.png

  The only thing I can think of that may be the culprit, it is at the same time, I got a new monitor that requires a display installed on my laptop driver.

  What other troubleshooting measures can I take to help address the display of police while I use my beloved Firefox?

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Try to play with this:
  =

  layers.acceleration.disabled: True
  

  And make sure that firefox has the updated driver, you can check in "subject: support.

  and try turning off hardware acceleration: try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

  You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

  Then perform the following steps:

  • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
  • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
  • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

  In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • Troubleshoot extensions, themes, and issues of hardware acceleration to resolve common problems of Firefox
  • Update your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

• How can I get Firefox to load the font "Symbol" and "Wingdings"?

  My 8.0.1 version doesn't have a 'symbol' or the fonts 'Wingdings' listed and when I visited my html document these characters end up using the Arial font. I have the documents with a lot of less-than-and-equal, more-than-and-equal and a crowd of other symbols, and wingdings characters. IE9 works very well. Chrome has the same problem that Firefox has.

  You have not been able to do in Firefox since Firefox 2, and even in this case, you may need to change Firefox, so while you might change your Firefox would not very many Firefox users who could use them.

  All the browser support unicode, but all the unicode fonts are not the same size and no machine each of them will not in all fonts. If they are your own documents, you will need to convert yourself. Most of what you need, you can probably obtain directly from this page

• Why Firefox tries to open the PDF with Acrobat 8 when I set properties using Reader 9.1?

  If I click on a link in a PDF file from Firefox 3.6.10 he's trying to open it with Acrobat 8 and breaks down, while if I double-click on a folder it opens properly with Reader 9.1

  If I try to open with Acrobat 8 for the record, he does not either, but why Firefox does not use the default program?

  Go to tools | Options | Applications. The first 4 entries focus on Adobe. Make sure that the association is your version 9.1. If this is not the case, click on the association that shows. You will get a triangle pointing downwards to the right. Click it, and then check if 9.1 is displayed. If so, select it. Do the same for the other elements of Adobe.

  You can also check the "Folder Options" in the control panel. In the tab "File Types", you will find all file extensions and the programs with which they are associated. Scroll to the PDF extension and make sure that it is associated with a "Document of Adobe Acrobat. If this is not the case, click the < button > and find adobe in the programs list.

  Just to let you know, Adobe Reader is now up to version 9.4. You can go to the Adobe website to download the latest version.

• Why Disk Defragmenter made several passes?

  Why Disk Defragmenter made several passes?

  7 days since the beginning and now the third pass and consolidation.

  John

  This topic deals with your original question.

  http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1567990

  It is not definitive, but the debate has highlighted a number of points.

  Personally, I use Defraggler because it has a better user interface and allows me to better control the defragmentation process.

  http://www.Piriform.com/Defraggler

  E partition unless you free disk space by 15% while the system will struggle to, if not fail to, defragment the partition. Before Defragmenting, it would be better to increase the available disk space on the partition to about 25%.

  Which files contains the partition? The computer is a desktop or laptop computer? What is the hard drive?

• Why firefox built-in PDF Viewer makes windows 10 crashes

  I have a computer with Windows 10. For about two to three months from now, from time to time, my computer/windows crashes when I open or save a PDF in Firefox, which is extremely upsetting.
  I just found out a few days ago that Firefox no longer uses the adobe reader plugin, but uses rather its own PDF Viewer built-in. When I changed the setting to use the external adobe reader software to open / download the pdf files, it seems that my computer no longer crashes.
  So my questions are: why the bult - in the PDF Viewer gives windows crash 10? Will be corrected this problem and when? and finally, why Firefox forces to use its own built-in PDF Viewer when it cannot work properly with windows 10?
  This was the most overwhelming problem that I had with my computer for a long time!

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
