BarbaraHudson's Journal: Poor F*ckfox

Really got to hate how it can get so hung up on javascript that it can't even display the "stop script" dialog :-( That's definitely an implementation bug. Will it ever get fixed?

[_] I doubt it
[_] Ever heard of "heat death of the universe?"
[_] Hahahahahaha.
[_] It's not a bug, it's a feature. Really.
[_] We couldn't duplicate the bug (because we don't use firefox internally)
[_] Sorry, but with all the bazillions we're going to make from FirefoxOS, Fire TV Stick, FireFox Phone (not to be confused with the equally defunct FirePhone), Firefox Tablet, etc, we're just waiting to spin off the browser to some sucker.

I wouldn't say it's limping along quite as slowly as slackware, but ...

This is open source

If FireFox no worky-worky, how about another one?

Well,

I've found it varies by site and machine, and often seems random. I have a little Acer laptop with a meg of memory and a big HP notebook with four megs. Most sites give me no problem, but often I can't listen to KSHE on the acer because their player's advertisers suck. I've had to pull the battery to get it unlocked.

Even the big notebook has all its memory used up sometimes and slows to a crawl. It looks to me that Firefox has a problem freeing up unused memory until you shut the browser down.

That's one time it would be nice for the browser to develop a bit of alzheimers :-)
