[Desktop-packages] [Bug 605567]
I wonder if we could not turn on tiling on desktop ? Or do this if we detect a nvidia/linux driver ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/605567 Title: Extremely slow painting of launchpad.net bug details page with nvidia driver Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Launchpad.net bug detail pages are painted extremely slowly by Firefox on my machine. I'm running Ubuntu Lucid 64-bit, and I have the proprietary nvidia driver (from the Ubuntu repositories) installed, version current. The machine has two 8800 GTX GPU's with 768 MB each, so the available graphics power should not be a problem. It takes many seconds (sometimes tens of seconds) to draw the page, during which the entire computer slows to a crawl. Nothing happens on the screen during this time. Whenever I scroll the page up so that more of the page is revealed at the top of the screen, this is painted extremely slowly as well. Scrolling down (once the page is fully painted) does not produce slow-downs, so the problem appears to be with the content at the top of the page. It appears to be an interaction between Firefox, Launchpad.net and the proprietary NVidia driver. I don't notice slowdowns like this on any other web page (including other launchpad.net pages). Other browsers, such as Chrome, draw Launchpad bug detail pages with lighting speed. And when I use the nv or nouveau drivers the problem does not appear either. Since Chrome can paint the pages at fast speeds, Firefox should be able to as well, so I still think this is a Firefox problem. If there is any way I can determine exactly what it is that is taking so much time and slowing down the entire computer, please let me know! Or if there is any other way in which I can help debug this problem.

I'd say it's different and more related to the fixed background with semi-transparent div layered on top of it. As a hint, changing the zoom level doesn't help whereas it helps in other testcases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/605567 Title: Extremely slow painting of launchpad.net bug details page with nvidia driver Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Launchpad.net bug detail pages are painted extremely slowly by Firefox on my machine.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 526453]
In Aurora (version of 5 dec 2011) I have still the same problem. I really don't care of whatever default is set on a new profile. All I want is a way to set it easily and error-free from an UI. Right now, we have to change the pref browser.search.defaultenginename in about:config, and if we set it to an unknown value (like bing instead of Bing), the default search is broken. This is wrong. I feel using the current selected search engine is not a good option here: there's really no point at having a search bar if we do this. If my last search was on ebay, amazon or wikipedia, I don't want to have my default search to go there, I want my default to go to whatever default is set. To me, 2 options would be appropriate : - either: the first search engine of the list is the default - or: the user can set it using a set default button. Then take care to put a sensible default if this search engine is gone. This could also be done for any option, when browser.search.defaultenginename is set to a wrong value. Another bug maybe ? Either way, make it apparent in the UI, like make it bold with (default) after its name. And I can think of a third solution : - replace the empty keyword values by a null/undefined value which would be written as none. Then, the real empty () would be for the default search. It makes sense because, really, that is what seems to happen. But from the user point of view it's maybe difficult to understand.

Start with a clean Firefox profile 2. Notice the default search provider is Yahoo in the search box (just to the right of the address bar) 3. Select some text on a page, right click on the selection and notice the item Search Yahoo for YourText 4. Set the search provider to Google in the search box from the drop- down menu 5. Select some text on a page, right click on the selection and notice the item Search Google for YourText 6. Go to View - Toolbars - Customize and drag the search box out of the toolbar into the customization window 7. Select some text on a page, right click on the selection and notice the item Search Yahoo for YourText (should be Google still) 8. Go to View - Toolbars - Customize and drag the search box into your toolbar, to the right of the address bar 9. Notice Google is selected as default search provider 10. Select some text on a page, right click on the selection and notice the item Search Google for YourText This is due to Firefox using the user-set engine when the search bar is present, but using the default engine (which cannot be changed by the user), when the search bar is removed.
