Firefox 3.6.11

Anyone knows how to disable Mcafee scanner with installation of flash player , always have to uninstall it by Revo after update is done.

 

i never download adobe flash from their website. they make you download their download manager and other crap.

just go to filehippo.com and download it there.

 

yep thats what i do, i subscribed to the filehippo email newsletter about updates and once i see a flash update i just download it from filehippo, nice and easy and no crap

 

Thanks, I'll do that from now on

 

We need to change this now to...

BloatFox 3.6.11

Cause this thing just keeps sucking the ram!

 

172Mb here with this website and some heavy Flash streaming open. I hardly call that "sucking up RAM".

 

Dude, this is Wilders. The lamentation and wailing begins with any app running more than one 12K process.

 

Nice!

I'll wait a couple of days because FF has recently been repatching the patches of late.

 

You can always use these links, they are clean installers without McAfee or Adobe updater crap.
ActiveX version(Internet Explorer)
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Plugin version(Firefox, Opera, Chrome etc.)
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

 

do you guys know how and where to change the flash settings?

 

ok thx jrvejo. yea i was talking about the flash settings manager. is there a way to acces this from within firefox settings? or do you have to go to that website everytime?

 

Hi JRViejo, there is also this thread on Wilders that lets us set up a config file that does as well if not better than visiting the Adobe site (IMO):
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=284280&highlight=flash

I posted my set up there, and at least on the face of it, it seems to be doing just fine though confirmation or comments would be useful as to the utility of this route.

 

Very true

 

Since I updated to 3.6.11 "Accept third-party cookies" always reverts to CHECKED, no matter how many times I unchecked it in the config window. (Win7 64bit)

 

@ DOSawaits

Hi, sorry to hear that, i've also updated to the latest version and the've changed some things i'm not happy about

However on my comp XP/SP2 i'm able to enable/disable 3rd & 1st



So i don't know what's up with yours ? I wouldn't have though the OS should make a difference, but ? Hope you sort it

 

Might be a specific Win7 64-bit issue.
Those don't seem too unusual, it seems. Whether the blame should be on the OS or the other software devs, I couldn't say.

But WinPatrol also just had a new release with a Win7 64-bit issue, which the dev said he'd be fixing shortly:

The thing I found quite curious about this Firefox update:
I got it thru the internal updater. Updates that way are usually fairly small in download size-- sometimes two or three MB, sometimes just a few hundred KB.
This one was an 11MB download.
The full, downloadable installer from Mozilla is only 8MB.

Anyone else have that experience?

 

That was actually me who posted that, as you can see, I fixed it.

 

Do you guys know how to delete RSS feeds from firefox and Internet explorer permanently?
