BAAAAALL---- MEERRRRR!!!!

I've running FF on Win 7 build 7100 x64 for 3 weeks and until I installed Minefield, FF was just about unusable. Facebook was a good test. Ajaxy things photo galleries and comments stalled, didn't render or just hung. I've been a Safari man for the last few weeks (and will be using Safari even more regularly until Firebug for FF3.7 is out. I will remain with Firefox as my default browser for now.
BTW- This code name Minefield business with the fuse sticking out of the earth logo has to go. Whose idea was that? Terrible.
I blame Balmer.
 
 

Gmail and Facebook sluggish on FF 3.5.2/Win7

Lo and behold! The latest Minefield release (3.7 a1) fixes the problems. GMail and Facebook now work fine on FF on Win7 :)

Firefox 3.5.2 on Windows 7 RC 7100 (x64)

I also am trying to use firefox 3.5.2 on my 64bit version of windows 7 but am having trouble with firefox freezing and then hanging unable to be closed. I had no trouble at all with the 32bit version. I notice that also some link will not work as expected and that some will keep refreshing without saving my changes. I use only adblock and download statusbar with firefox in private browsing mode. internet explorer does not have these same issues, the websites work fine.

Firefox hangs very frequently

Firefox 3.5.2 hangs very frequently on Windows 7 RC Build 7100. The surprising thing is that it cannot even be killed within the task manager. Even though in task manager the process can be stopped and disappears from the list firefox can still not be restarted. When clicking on it just the little turning wheel shows up for a while, then disappears and this was it. Taskmanager how shows firefox as running again, it can be killed in task manager, but then the same procedure starts all over again. The only way to get it working again is to reboot the computer. Interesting: when firefox has been killed in the Taskmanger neither it nor windows explorer can be restarted!
What could be the reasons for this behavior, what could be done about it?

Regarding Firefox in Windows 7

Hello
 
I currently use Firefox 3.5.1, English (US) and Windows 7 (Build 7600) and i had some problems, after i removed a password in saved passwords menu, it wouldn't offer to remember any other passwords, eventhough there was no site saved in exceptions. I solved this after several clean reinstalls, still i have a minor problem, it won't save in the bookmarks menu any site icon (the little logo next to the bookmark name), at an earlier install it worked, but now it doesn't.
Best regards.

Massive Memory Leakage in 3.5

I am totally new to this whole scene of Firefox development and protocol, so be kind if this isn't where this belongs and just show me the way, if you'd be so kind. ;-)

I just want to draw attention to what I see as a critical problem, massive memory grabs that aren't being released when tabs/windows are closed.

It's not uncommon for me to see the firefox process grow to envelop a third of two gigs of memory with just four tabs/windows open. Worse yet, closing all but one only returns maybe 20% of the memory.

I see that 3.5.1 has just been pushed out, and that 3.6.x are ongoing, so if this is something that's been addressed already, then I'm sorry. If not, please let me know and I will begin looking at it!

Firefox Jumplists in Windows 7

I'm using FF 3.5 b4 in Windows 7 RC (build 7100), and for the jump list of firefox I only see 'recent' items, which are pictures I've saved/downloaded or static html files opened locally. It would be really nice to change this to actual frequently visited webpages which I could then pin to the jump list. Currently it's of no use to me.
The tabs preview (similar to IE8) and the tasks like 'new tab' or 'private browsing' (again, like IE8) are also good ideas to implement in the near future.

Minimizing Firefox on Win7

I noticed that in Win7 when you minimize IE8 then hover over the minimized icon it shows you a live tile for each tab that is open in that session of IE. When you try to do the same with Firefox you only get one tile regardless of how many tabs you have open. This is not cricital but a nice feature that I hope is carried over to Firefox.

Messenger and firefox

I'm runing the windows 7 RC now, and I'm having the same issue with live messenger since the Windows 7 beta and other builds, when a firefox window is minimized,  the mesenger windows comes up, this happens with several firefox versions, at least from firefox 3, I dont know if happens with previous versions.
And like bcamarneiro says, the problem is firefox because its the only application that causes this.
And also hope to see win 7 integration in firefox

firefox + messenger

When I minimize firefox's or thunderbird's window, the windows live messenger's window open up... Is it a mozzila software problem or a messenger problem?
(windows seven)

Few Connection Issues

When i 1st installed it windows 7 build 7000 it took about 2 minutes to connect to a page but after that,  runs superb, very fast. faster than firefox on xp SORRY GUYS

Have had problems

I ran into some rather nasty problems.  I installed Firefox on a local admin account.  It seemed to work fine.  Then I joined my computer to an AD domain.  Things went haywire after I restarted.  I got disk corruption messages.  I launched Firefox on a domain account and it didn't even start.  No error.  No process in Task Manager.  Nothing.  Even IE was no where to be found.  I returned to the local admin account.  Firefox that had been pinned to the taskbar was no a white blank page icon.  Clicking it said the target could not be found.  Opening firefox from the desktop icon started firefox, but no home page was loaded despite one being set.  Also, the google search in the toolbar didn't work.
IE still works fine though.  Is this microsoft foul play or something else?  Probably not.  Seems like just Windows Beta issues.
