Has IE sent out a cake?

[HSMagnet]

v7.0.1 is already out

[Everson]

will there be a toolbar for v7.0 ?

Toolbar has now been released to support up to FF 8.0 - with BFP4F and RO2 on the games list.

 

It was meant to come out about 2 weeks ago but there were some issues with the update keys that I've only just had a chance to fix.

9.0 is out now - no doubt we'll be on 15.0.1 by next December.

 

Will get a PBBans Toolbar update out ASAP.

December 21, 2012 will be the end of everything so it won't matter. :P

fed up with Slowfox? if you are looking for a stable 64bit release give this a whirl http://waterfoxproject.org/ (windows only)

I stopped using firefox a few months back as after a while of having battlelog open in it, it would start to lag my whole pc and the pc would be unresponsive for like half a second every 10-30 seconds.

 

Since i switched to chrome ive noticed much better performance and much less vram usage as well.

And why I dislike the entire "require a web browser to play a game" idea.

Will that work with battlelog though?

Post above yours. Answer is no because Battlelog requires a 32bit browser to launch the game however using battlelog itself is fine.

 

Doesn't bother me as games I now play don't require web browsers to play.

You don't play bf3 anymore? Guess ill never get your tags then.

 

I was checking my friends multiplayer stats on the log earlier, you're one of the top players in my friends list for knife kills. (2500+)

 

What's the point of a 64bit browser? Don't think ive ever seen memory usage go over 1gig before.

My last game was about 3 weeks ago. I get no enjoyment from BF3 anymore. Hell the last two games I came close to falling asleep while playing. Even Armored Kill doesn't really interest me.

 

Now I play Counter-Strike GO and Planetside 2 when I get in the gaming mood. Black Ops 2 is starting to look like my next game providing they fix the main issues I had with Black Ops in the performance department.

It's not just about memory it seems.

 

What is Waterfox?

Waterfox is a high performance browser based on the Mozilla Firefox source code. Made specifically for 64-Bit systems, Waterfox has one thing in mind: speed.

 

What makes it fast?

Waterfox was compiled with Intel's C++ Compiler with the following optimisations: Intel's Math Library, SSE3, AVX for supported Intel processors, jemalloc, Profile-Guided Optimisation and the /O3 switch.

 

Why should I use a 64-Bit variant of Firefox?

64-Bit computing is the future! Any 64-Bit user will notice an instant increase in performance, but that is not the only advantage such as multi-tasking and improved stress handling.

I've been using it for a few days now and it seems more responsive than Firefox.

iron is 32bit - no big deal to try it yourself using the portable

 

No idea here, for all the EA/Origin plugin spammage (mainly just to get the bfp4f patches to update our nametag-hack detection) i use FF portable 3.6.28 :P ... currently under winxp 32bit sp3

 

i found FF > 12 an unusable annoyance - slooow, buggy, crashfox vs. hangfox, crappy add-on support (under winxp32 likewise w7 64) so under w7 64bit its solely Waterfox for me as of now, no more hang/crash/stall since, it even runs old plugins and themes np. Where required (lack of 64 bit support) i have iron portable and FF3.6 + FF12 portable handy.

I dunno, i consider myself a bit of a computer geek but most of what you wrote there just went right over my head.

 

It could be the four cans of wife beater i suppose...
