FireFox, problems with big images
Here's what's going on. I load up a few image heavy threads, and firefox gets all buggy. I can't even take a screenshot, I had to take a picture of my screen with my camera.
When I switch between tabs, the page stays on the screen until I scroll around, and then it reveals the other page as I scroll. ![]() ![]() It's so frustrating. Is this a configuration thing? or is it some kind of bug? IE displays these threads flawlessly. Everyone says FireFox is so awesome, but I've had nothing but problems with it ![]() |

Anyway, I actually tried regular Mozilla first. Had the same problem though. I thought FireBird would fix it. I'm thinking it's some sort of cache/memory management issue. If I load just one thread at a time it seems to work fine, but two threads open (new tab or window, doesn't matter), and it does what you're seeing in the picture. I'll probably submit a bug report, but I figured someone here might have experienced the same problem. |

I use the fox too, a similar thing happens to me. When I load multiple threads it gets really slow, sometimes it takes 30-40 seconds to respond to the next tab, or to even close a tab.
I started to load nightly builds on some advice I got from a thread I opened here, and the problem has lessened a lot since doing that. I don't know how to make firefox display what build I'm currently using. When I do Help...About... I get Ver. 0.8.0+ which isn't what I'm looking for. I think the build might be in this string: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040416 Firefox/0.8.0+ That bit after the Gecko/####### but I'm not sure. I'd ask SecretMethod70, he's a good resource for Firefox info. Search his Firefox threads for a whole lot of info. You could try to use another build and see what happens for you.

It's a known problem and it's supposed to be fixed in the latest nightlies.
If that doesn't help browse to about:config and go to browser.cache.disk.capacity and change it to something higher.
