firefox 3.6 final is out

It certainly made the browser feel "heavy" to me. It took a few seconds longer to start FF than it does without the list. As far as regular surfing, again, it felt a bit sluggish. Your experience of course may vary. I've since stopped using it because I feel, as with all blacklist-type protection, these domains change daily, and malware can appear on a site and vanish from a site within a few hours. It's simply impossible to keep up.

 

im running the malware list aswell as 3 other lists and not noticing any browsing or browser launch slowdowns

 

Lucky you, lol. It wasn't deal-breaking in any sense, again, just a bit sluggish. As I said, experience varies

 

did not know that adblock can block sites
i though it used to block advertising

 

It does, but that list was made to block entire domains/sites (IIRC). Again though, they change so frequently, I'm not sure it does much good.

 

better than nothing, especially if u dont even notice its running

 

Is there an add-on or setting to disable Java? Older versions of Firefox had an option but it doesn't anymore.

 

NoScript can do that:

http://noscript.net/

 

Thanks, added

 

yes but it's pretty boring noscript
pop up to many time

 

Allow those sites that you are frequent and mark the random sites as untrusted. Pretty easy

i did notice that the most visited and the last visited (smart bookmarks) disapeard

should set browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion to 0 ? http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=eu&forumId=1&comments_parentId=79762
i found on the net
but i doesn't recreate the last visited

 

Just found this: QuickJava. Does exactly what you want. It will work with 3.6 if you adjust install.rdf accordingly.

Thanks Pinga, NoScript is so much better because it can block any plugin

 

but does the smart bookmark last/recently visited work?

 

what's going on ?
today they realese firefox 3.5.8 http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/changelog/7066/

and sometime ago they released 3.6

 

Support for older versions.

thank a lot WSFuser

i remember a great component that fixed the memory leak or avoid firefox consume to much ram

mine sometime is about 340mb

 

Opera is the way to go if someone wants a bit more stability. Firefox is horrible on how handles memory @ default settings.

 

I use FF & surf a lot, with lots of open tabs. Ram usage never exceeds ~56MB.

 

mine always around 80MB. But it never exceed 120Mb.

 

mine is at 346mb right now, but i keep my firefox open and never close it unless i restart my PC, so its on most the day and always 5-6 tabs open at the minimum, usually more and i also use themes and quite a few extensions, but i dont really mind the memory usage considering everything i have going on in firefox and i dont notice much slowdown so im okay with it.

 

Before complaining about alleged "memory leak" one should carefully read http://kb.mozillazine.org/Reducing_memory_usage_-_Firefox

Regarding issues with Firefox in general this is the site to go. Particularly important is standard diagnostic.

 

good point
by the way the component that improve ram usage is not https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5972
