Title: Firefox 4 problem, need help <Polish users mostly welcome>
Post by: mr.WHO on March 22, 2011, 01:37:02 pm

Hi people.
Recently I installed new, 4th version of the Firefox. It's all sweet and dandy but I encountered a problem with the page that is my homepage.

This is my page:
http://www.onet.pl/

There is a sidebar to the left that can be modifed by user, like select city ("Krakow" should be default), change the order of the tabs (I like to have currency and stock exchange tabs at the top), close the unused tabs and move them to bottom, or move the whole sidebar to the right (which I prefer).

My problem is that when I refresh this page, or restart the browser, it switch back to default set (wich isn't bad...if you live in Krakow  :mad:  ).

Can somebody with FF 4 (Polish user would be mostly welcome, but any foreign Good soul is welcome too) check if they have same problems with this page?

I want to check it to find out if it's:
A) FF 4 bug
B) My PC bug
C) Onet.pl fault (which is known for problems with anything diffrent than IE  :ick:)


I tried google for similar bug but the only thing I found was same question for  FF 3.6...with no answer :(

Edit: BTW, 
NO it's not normal behavior, coz in previous version of FF this page always saved all my settings, even after the browser restart.


Thanks for help.

I'm not polish, but there are some things you can try that certainly wont hurt.

Try the same websites with the same browser on a different computer somewhere else. This'll confirm a save changes bug, or a your computer has a bug.

Lastly, use something different if you just have no time. You got lots of choices. Opera, chrome, internet explorer (god forbid), and even older versions of firefox. For this, i'd recommend an older version of firefox. An older version than 3.6 you used i suspect worked; that would at least put you back with the expected functionality you're desiring.

I guess I'll have to adapt to this for some time, coz FF 4 is much faster than 3.6. So after a few days with 4th there is no going back. I tried to experiment with Opera and Chrome but I didn't like them. Opera supose to be way better and faster than FF, but I didn't felt it, while Chrome has extremely minimalistic design and is basically a legal Google spyware.

I found the cause. My old FF3.6 profile was somehow corrupt. When I created a new FF4 profile, the sidebar started to work fine.

Btw, has someone found a fix for blurry fonts other than turning off HW acceleration?
