I had the exact same problem of logging in, I solved it though pretty simple. Go to tools>options>privacy>show cookies and then just remove forum.tip.it. Problem solved.

I'll take my Netscape 6.0 any day, thank you very much.

 

Seriously? It's been years since I used Netscape. I remember back when that was the major browser for Mac, and before that... when Internet Explorer shipped with Mac. Now that Apple finally got around to making a browser of their own, I use that (Safari). Firefox is nice though, I just need the Mac look that Safari has.

There are a whole array of reasons that Firefox could be acting slower, starting with having way too many addons. If it really goes bad just reinstall it.
I don't have the patience to run through all the issues it could be. I switched over to Opera and have used that ever since. Also, I never used more than 2/3 addons, and on my last install on my old PC I had none.

 

 

 

Firefox just isn't really optimised for computers with older hardware from my experience. Scrolling was lagging and I was inputting text faster than the browser could register it - which wasn't really fast at all. (Not a fast typer, no more than 40/45wpm)

Thought i'd just pop in and say that MS will release the full version of IE8 today at 17.00 (GMT+1h).

Je ne me reconnais plus dans les gens

Je suis juste un cas désespérant

Et comme personne ne viendra me réclamer

Je terminerai comme un objet retrouvé

Meh, it's just a preference. You CAN tweak firefox so the speed is faster but meh, not much different.

 

 

 

Oh yeah, one thing about IE was that major security flaw or something.

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=Making FF faster]Open Firefox 1.0(Any version works) and in the address bar type: about:config

 

1. Find network.http.pipelining and double click on it so it = true

 

2. Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests double click on it and change it from 4 to 100

 

 

 

What do these changes do?

 

1. This enables option #3.

 

2. This makes FF use 8 threads to each page.. Bascially, if you thought FF was fast before, try it after this.[/hide]

Finally on here to update that I have officially quit! It's been fun.
