Hmm... *checks Jesper's PNG in IE*

Nope. Sorry, Legion, but IE does not display it correctly.

Sounds like something did get broken for you, it works faster for me.

I would reccomend to goto C:\Documents and Settings\Emil\Application Data and delete the Phoenix, and try Firefox again. The problems you described describs what faulty plugins can do.

Don't say that IE is better becuse of the plugins not working. I know plugins for IE that have made IE slow/non working.

That wootest badge is supposed to be transparent, not grey coloured...

I hated Firefox.

Granted, yes, it was ... okay ... for a few ... days... it very quickly crashed to the point it was useless.

Unless you call hogging my GIF/JPG/PNG associations, and on load displaing NOTHING [not even a menu, just white] useful.

I prefer Opera. Faster than IE for loading [esp. with dialup ]...

Legion: If the scheme you use has a purple BG, it'll be purple. Or whatever color jesp's layout is.

If it displays incorrectly, it'll be black on dark blue. I just tested it.

It's supposed to have the same colour as the backround Legion,

Why Firefox is slow is a mystery for me, there must be a error somewhere. But have you deleted the Phoneix folder from Application Data? That may work...

But after all, Firefox is not finished... current problems may disappear in version 1.0. At least try it again when that version is released Legion.











In IE it will be gray, in Firefox it's transparent. Fully.

I wasn't logged in at the time, hence no layouts or schemes. Sounds to me like you have to perform a list of objectives to get the image to display properly. And Jesper, you're bragging about it?

All the small things that are wrong with Firefox add up too. Scrolling gets messed up sometimes, it's display of tables is downright horrid most of the time, it's user interface is cluttered and highly unorganized... things such as that really make it piss-poor.

The only reason why it's so popular is because of the pop-up blocker (which is easily beaten by Googles) and the tabbed messaging.

I use becuse how fast it loads images, it dosen't loads the images faster. But it caches them better.

I wonder, Legion which computer do you have? On one computer I tested Firefox it actually had problems with scrolling. But only on that one.

From my personaly experince, you shouldn't use Firefox if you have anything under 400 Mhz.

I don't use Firefox only for pop-up blocking and tabbed browsing. (Which are very nice, though.) I use it manly because it conforms to nearly all Web standards in existence. IE does not, especially with a rendering engine that was last updated in version 4.0 (1997).

I don't know what you've done to your computer... but it mainly sounds like you're just being plagued by Windows.

Okay, here's my guidlines for a browser that doesn't suck.

1. Speed. IE sucks in this catagory. Opera pwns. Firefox just plain sucked.
2. Loading. IE is super-fast, but it's integrated anyway. Opera takes about 10 seconds. Firefox would literally stall the CPU for about 10 seconds.
3. Stability. IE survived a registry crash of massive proportions. So did Opera. Yet Firefox bowed to the Registry Gods and went boom.

Firefox still sucks. I'm going to test it for a wile and see if it STILL blows, but... either way, I'm still sticking with Opera.

Non cluttered menus, anyone?

I have no idea why it would be slow then, it's not slow on my 1.8 Ghz.

I actually tested some sites both with Firefox and IE, Firefox loaded them faster. At least the pages I have tested.

I hadn't tested Opera, but if I am very bored someday I maybe test it.

Firefox is still in beta, if you have problems with it then you should go and check the forums on the offical page.

Both IE and Firefox is stable on my computer. I hadn't any of them crashing yet, yes I do use IE sometimes. But only for sites which only supports IE.

I would say that Linux is diffrent, not better or worse than Windows. They are both diffrent and have diffrent target groups.

Well, you're probably just so used to it that it doesn't appear slow. I'm used to using IE so I noticed an obvious difference.

Oh, that reminds me, if you clean out your registry regularly (which you should) then you wouldn't have half the problems with IE that you normally do.

I have done Registry cleaning Legion, just you know.

But well, I actually have no idea why Firefox is slow for you. There must be a problem somewhere.

Hmm, but it's must be a bug if it appears on some computers but not on others.

I can say this now, I never had any problem with Firefox or IE. Well I had problems on one computer with IE, but it was on a Win98 computer. With a very messy registry. (it's fixed now BTW)

Legion, can you enlighten me on the "type" of person I am?

I don't bash IE meaninglessly. I try to post reasons on why I dislike them and prefer other alternatives. And ... *checks OS* I'm using Windows 2000 SP4 right now. The only OS (besides a fake win95 thing for bochs) installed on here is Win2000. It doesn't suck, really. (Though XP does, IMO)

Speek check, on a Celeron 1.4 GHz:
Firefox started in three seconds. IE started in two. OK, IE wins in the start up time, by one second. (Note I'm using Blackbox for Windows, so IE is not loaded all the time, as it is using the Explorer shell)
Firefox loaded this thread immediately... took about four seconds (Ctrl+F5 to ignore cache) to load everyone's images and CSS documents. IE: took four seconds for it to display more than the header of the page (I don't have my cookies set on IE, so I was in guest mode)

And you might want to check this out: http://entropymine.com/jason/testbed/pngtrans/
Proves that IE knows shit about PNG.

SPEED TEST!

IE on this very page: Page rendered in 0.198 seconds. (It's at the bottom.)

The Almighty Benevolant Firefox: Page rendered in 0.635 seconds.

I know it's trivial to point out a time difference such as that but...

Oh, and I just noticed something. I'll get the "page rendered" thing at the bottom WHILE the page is still loading. I thought that was pretty weird. Also, I thought it was kind of ironic but when I loaded this page in Firefox, it delayed at my layout. Yes, a CSS layout. Doesn't do that in IE.

Page rendered in 0.174 seconds.

On Firefox... and in IE:

Page rendered in 0.181 seconds.

It's server rendered Legion. It's dosen't matter which browser you use.

I had seen times up to 60 seconds thought, both in IE and Firefox. But that is when the server is going crazy.

May I note to you that this is the time it took for the PHP script to process on the server, and is completely irrelavent to your browser/connection? A dial-up connection would get the same render time.

Bah, my mistake. Ok, strike that from the record. That explains the whole "still loading" thing I said.
