Re: Firefox Issues
Stephen Conrad wrote:
OK, got a few issues here.
BW G3, OS X 10.2.9, 1G RAM
Firefox 2.0.0.20
First off, it was running fine the other day.
Then I got notice that 3 of my Add-ons had updates.
Not a problem, I wasn't busy so I updated them. This has never been a
problem and the other day some of my other Add-ons were updated.
Now we get to the problem.
Since the update and rebooting of FF its been a PITA for me.
The Issues
===
It doesn't seem to like too many tabs open (never a problem before)
Some sites are damn slow to load (if they load at all).
Example: Tagged (www.tagged.com) doesn't seem to want to load
whereas it always worked fine before.
What you see is the status bar gets part way across and just hangs there.
I couldn't get Gmail to either Auto-fill a name for me or to load my Contacts
What I Have Done
~~~
I cleared private Data (well, Cache, Browsing History, Download
History, Saved Form and Search History as well as Authenticated
Sessions)
So, what could be the problem here?
None of the Add-ons that were updated had to do with major things {I
remember a few were WebMail Notifier, DownloadHelper, Red Cats (a
Theme)} and if I knew how to see what the others were I'd post them
too.
Thanks for your help!
This is funny because just today I was going to send a post titled Going
back to Safari I think I did more than you did.
I cleared every mention of Firefox on my Pismo 400. Downloaded and installed
the stable latest version. Then I opened Firefox and Safari and went on a
user test experience. Safari seems to pick up faster each time. And there is
only one addon on Firefox; VideoDownload Helper
Left overnight Firefox will take forever to get going again. Safari picks up
quicker. The start time for Firefox increases if you have Youtube ages up, or
any of those video sites opened, before the computer was put to sleep; either
my closing the lid or non-use with the lid open.
I've tried, at the suggestion here, to use the nightly builds. That worked
for a while until I could not even get it to open. It's a shame. I've never
had this kinds of issues on a PC.
BTW anyone know of a good way to download .swf files?

Television was interlaced, meaning that each frame only displays every other line, so the TV screen is scanned line 1, 3, 5, 7...on to the end, then it comes back and scans 2, 4, 6, 8 This meant that the circuityry could operate at half the frequency that would normally be required, making television possible in the beginning, and cheaper later on. Since it was codified as a standard, TV never changed, (until next week.) Persistence of vision, and the slow decay of the phosphors meant that we saw the whole picture, not two half pictures in a row. (for grins, if you ever run across one, hook up an old green high-persistence monochrome monitor like an Apple III to a video source. It's...interesting. :-) HD video does the same thing, 720i or 1080i is interlaced, 720p and 1080p is 'progressive' or de-interlaced. This gives you a sharper picture, but at the cost of display speed, which is why on older 'p' sets, you get smearing and fuzziness when there are large, fast changes on the screen, such as games or sports events. De-interlacing in DVD Player is displaying each line sequentially line 1, 2, 3 , 4 etc. For HD this can be a MAJOR factor in performance. What this means is that the DVD player application has to decode TWO half frames at once, and display them simultaneously. It doubles the CPU load, and can lead to stuttering just like you saw. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

But it doesn't explain why I could not find com.apple.recentitems.plist when I was scanning the folder, except for the coffee issue. I was hoping for the off chance that it worked like I seem to remember OS9's recent items, by keeping an alias in a recent items folder. That way, you could just open the folder and click on whatever doc you wanted to open. Didn't 10.4 have a Favourites feature in Finder's Go menu?

Re: I am thinking about a processor upgrade for my G4/400 AGP
i have used many of those upgrades. i have priced them they're good, but not cheap enough . first off, its very hard to tell which rev of the G4 you get. not all 7XXX freescale chips are the same, and most do not benchmark well if you're comparing with the original one you have., clock speed compare the spec benchmarks... get the MFG to give you the model of CPU. i like the AGP sawtooth because it takes a full 2GB of ram, and AGP cards are available. the later g4's only take 1.5GB, and the latest mac OS uses wads of RAm effectively if you have it. you need to consider a mini. especially since OS 10.6 is probably going to leave some machines behind, and its successor almost defineitely wont run on a G4 CPU at all. an intel core 2 duo makes those chips look silly. and soon the mini should be released that will take 4GB of ram.

no internet but lan
So, I think I can post this here. It's a hard-headed imac: 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo; 667mhz with 10.4 on it. It will connect to other machines-macs-on the network but won't go online. I've unchecked and re-checked the ethernet option in the Network pane. I've checked firewall, etc. I've used all sorts of available combinations; manual, dhcp, etc. It always pulls up the same IP, no matter what I do. It won't release it's dhcp lease either. Is there a place I can go delete stuff...to start anew. It's hanging onto something that's not working. Any terminal commands you know of that might help...flush dns etc? Help!

Well, an Intel Mac is not really a G3-5, but... Sounds like you must have a router connected to a modem which hosts your LAN. If not, more info needed. On this machine (G4MDD/10.4.11) When clicking on Built-in Ethernet the button turns green. Clicking the Configure button at the bottom of the pane opens several options. I choose Using DHCP and the router assigns an IP (in the 192.168.1.1XX range). If this is not happening for you, I suspect the settings in the router.

NAS question
Having a constant problem with the NAS paths for some reason. I chose /Volume_1/folder as a path in an application. Everything is fine. Then the next time I look, the path has changed to /Volume_1_1/folder and now tonight /Volume_1_2/folder. When I'm in a Finder window, Sidebar shows Shared - 192.168.0.125 and dlink-54cd89. Both show me the exact same top level Connected as: username. Should I be accessing the NAS via the sidebar dlink-54ce89 which is always there on restart, and *not* via the Go dropdown menu which adds the 192.168.0.125? Is it considered bad practice to leave the NAS drive/s mounted on the desktop? I'm doing a lot of file reorganisation so constantly having windows open -- is that what is creating all these /Volume_1_1/folders?? And what's the easiest way to find these invisible drives when they're happening? FileBuddy doesn't like Unix.
