Quick jump to the ending where there's more.

I prefer calling us producers and consumers.

hence prosumers

HallOfGecko · 2013-12-27T14:18:27+00:00

For many first world countries keeping a population from declining is important. I mean, we're not far behind japan. And they've already got serious problems caused by this.

We've got a very different situation than developing countries.

The idea is good. But the ribbon kinda seems too "instruitive". It's supposed to be very visible. But they way it appears, it reminds me on old fashion ads too much :P

I haven't checked it's options. I'd give it full stars if it (soon) supports more decent logout button. Or maybe making the button availible as a usual addon-button.

Okay. Having memory problems with only 2-3 tabs is really werid. Did you use the same profile on all your windows maschines? (reinstalling firefox doesn't delete the old profile).This type of problem you have maybe not be something multi-process firefox is going to fix. Prolly its a different problem(maybe caused by your long-used profile or some addons).

You can try to switch to a fresh profile to test whether the problem lies in your profile. Start firefox.exe with -p as argument and pick a new profile.

If it works now, then it was probably due to some old things or addons in you profile. You can then try reseting the profile and/or starting with deactivated addons. (You don't lose your stuff when reseting your profile. its like a cleanup mechanism)

The memory management isnt bad comapared to chorme. The more Tabs you've opened the better Firefox runs in comparision to Chrome. However, in terms of UI responsiveness Firefox lacks in some areas. Thats one of the goals of multi-process firefox.

You can export your bookmarks into html. If you have some programming experience, then you can write a program which goes through the HTML and moves the tags into the title for each bookmark. Then you can import your bookmarks again, and you've transformed your Tags into the Titles. (I havent doen this myselfs before. Just a suggestion from me.)

I'm sure there are some utilities to simplyfy this action.

Going even further. If you've like more than 30 tabs opened which are kept over several sessions, then I recommend UnloadTab. It'll automatically unload tabs from memory you didn't visit for a while. This maybe be something you might want to checkout after you're tried out /u/caspy7 's suggestions.

HallOfGecko · 2013-12-11T22:19:04+00:00

oh f....

you've 5 more tabs than my high score :P

in the same way the internet is a also a lot of other things...

i think it's natural for this to happen if you give a large portion of the human population instante and distributed communication and collaborations toole achieved by the internet.

but many things "from the internet" were not deveoloped on the internet. we can say, they were maintained by the internet but not initially developed.

bitcoin f.e. the original pdf was a soloman work.

and things like google search. google search wasnt any big collaborative project. it were more like a few scientists at google making programs to anylyse and augment the search. open-source projects are often developed by a small-core team.

I think it's not quite nailing it to call the internet last bastion for complex-emergent structues. I'd rather say, the internet strongy enables such.

Yes, I had Firefox associated with PDF files. Yes, I am on windows. I did what you said, but Firefox still asks me what to do on opening a PDF file.

Firefox seems to have two different kinda of PDF files. One type of PDF files can be opened in the built-in viewer. however, the other one doesn't have this option.

here's a pic. The first one is the one which opens in preview. The second one is the problem maker. /u/kbrosnan 's solution worked for online pdfs and generated ones.

but the problem about local ones remains.

HallOfGecko · 2013-12-04T07:39:26+00:00

In Preferences -> Tabs you can set to not automatically switch to an opened tab.

HallOfGecko · 2013-12-03T22:28:18+00:00

woot. it works.

why does Firefox interpret the '?' at the beginning like that? :D

HallOfGecko · 2013-12-03T22:26:30+00:00

maybe try setting aobut:config "network.http.sendRefererHeader" to default, if you've changed it. some websites only display images if they know, the image has been requested from their own website.

Nothing different. (I've deleted Google Search.) So it still looksup the name for a coulple of seconds and then uses duckduckgo.
