Firefox 3.5

[Lawrence David Eden]

I recently downloaded and installed Firefox 3.5 on my G4.  This 
version of the browser is so slow that I thought there was something 
wrong with my ISP.  FF takes a very long time to load pages.  What is 
worse, is its inability to "find the server" for the various sites 
that I try to visit.

I am writing to you all about this in hopes that I have missed 
something that addresses the issues I described.  Are any of you 
having a similar experience with FF 3.5 and what are you doing about 
the problems?

Well, I'm using FF3.5 here on my G3 running 10.4 and it works OK, though
slowly.

I have six (!) different browsers for my Mac OS X right now, but the choosen
one for everyday surfing is Apple Safari 4.

Yes, I have had similar problems on my G3. Pages take ages to load,  
and everything is sluggish.

My solution was to download Opera 10 Beta 2 :) Everything sped along  
from then on. I love Opera, it has been the best browser I have used  
on my iMac, and I would not use anything else.

Hopefully, if you try use Opera, everything will speed up. Even  
Safari is faster than Firefox.

Opera 10 Beta 2: www.opera.com/browser/next

Works ok for me. Seems a little quicker than 3
but it takes forever to load the application in the first place. It's 
like Adobe got involved.

The same on the PC side.

The worst FF ever.  Very sad as it has been great in the past.

iTuesOnAppleDisk

[starrf...@valley.net]

I have my iTunes library on Appledisk through the Airport Extreme "N"
but iTunes on the MacBook won't see it.  even if I assign it as the
main itunes library.  I'm downloading iTunes 8.2.1 as I write hoping
it is a bug.

Is there a way to make that library appear as a shared library from
such a networked disk?

Is there a way to access such a library from a Touch?  THAT would be
wonderful!

Use one of RPM's optimized Firefox builds.



We've had a number of discussions about using the fast fast fast 
optimized builds on these LEM Lists.  If you search a bit you'll find 
them.

Also, there are features in the new browsers (Firefox and Safari) 
that check each and every url against a list of "known evil" sites. 
This is being done in a feeble (but great PR!) move to protect 
Windoze users from malware.  Turning off those features often speeds 
browsing up considerably.  I believe the settings are in Preferences, 
probably in the Security pane.

Another thing that can greatly speed up browsing is to limit the 
number of add-ons you've installed.  And be sure to install an ad and 
flash blocker.

Issue these commands in Terminal and paste the complete results into 
your reply here:

dig www.speakeasy.net
traceroute www.speakeasy.net

Then run this speed test and tell us the results:

That would be 10.4-10.5, NOT 10.1. 10.0-10.3 will only work with Flash  
9 or lower.

Would  clearing the caches filled from using earlier than FF 3.5

relative to the earlier versions?

Which ones? need to use OnyX?

Firefox 3.5.1 was released yesterday, and says it fixed the slowness

Feels the same speed as FF 3.5 (release build) to me.  YMMV.

ATI Radeon 9800Pro ME Driver Problem?

[Bill Connelly]

Maybe its to be expected after unplugging a QS 2002 Dual 1GHz?

OS X 10.5.7.

AGP1 ATI Radeopn 9800Pro ME
PCI2 empty
PCI3 M-Audio Delta 2496
PCI4 Sonnet Tango FW/USB
PCI5 empty

After unplugging my system due to a passing Tornado (well, we got  
lightening), I got a kp after the Desktop appeared and I tried to  
access the Dock.

It was "early" in the Desktop appearance, but it seems to point to the  
ATI Radeon 9800Pro. From the CrashReporter log:

   Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):
  com.apple.ATIRadeon9700(5.4.4)@0x8ca000->0x926fff
 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(1.7.3)@0x8b2000
 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6)@0x5d5000
 dependency:  
com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(1.7.3)@0x88c000

I have full system.log and Crash Report log SITXed or ZIPed  
available ... where might I store them online, so others can view them  
at their leisure?

This has happened before, and I am wondering if its a problem with the  
AGP video card, or just the overall system Startup after unplugging my  
G4 (and not to worry since everything seems to be back and working now).

We had a very strange storm here last night.  The weather forecast 
was for 30% chance of scattered showers and the radar showed almost 
nada.  It got dark, uber windy, then the torrent hit, flooded 
everything, then big hail!  Marble sized.  Haven't seen such here in 
S.Jersey in a lot of years!  It was all over and gone in 10 mins. 
Today I found out the storm caused the local nuke plant to scram 
("they're investigating").

Email the zipped archive to me.  Or put 'em on dropbox.  That's easiest.

Could be the card.

Have you been inside that Mac recently?   IOW, could the cards or 
cables need reseating?

Installed a new RAM stick. Maybe I need to do another cmd-opt-P-R? I  
was using another monitor while testing the new stick.

My system froze again while sitting in Mail app open. Log showed same  
thing.

Logs attached under personal off list e-mail.

Thanks.

Unless Apple made a typo on their site, the link I have below is for  
Flash 10.0.22.87, and the requirements are clearly stated as OSX 10.1

The logs aren't definative.  Could be a video issue but more liikey memory.

Reseat the memory and video card.
Run memtest over night or the equiv.

If the panics continue, pull the new stick.

Thanks for looking.

I had already tested the new stick alone with memtest from applejack.  
And then sandwiched between 2 known good ones.

3 cycles of memtest each. I'll Startup again and run memtest again ...

Since my last thread entry, I reseated the video card, and on CUDA,  
cmd-opt-P-R Startup, the 3rd - 5th partitions of my harddrive took a  
relatively long time to come up on my desktop.

When I looked at the log, it appears the Spotlight indexes were  
corrupt in some form that Restarting would have corrected according to  
the log entry.

I did the Terminal routine of turning off Spotlight for each  
partition, getting rid of the index, and reindexing, allowing it to  
run to completion under Leopard:

#!/bin/sh
sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/Leopard-10.5
sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/Leopard-10.5
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Leopard-10.5
sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/Tiger-10.4.11
sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/Tiger-10.4.11
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Tiger-10.4.11
sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/APPS
sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/APPS
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/APPS
sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/DOCS
sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/DOCS
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/DOCS
sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/Classic-9.2.2
sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/Classic-9.2.2
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Classic-9.2.2

Maybe its really my partitioning scheme and Spotlight?

I had also jumped to Tiger and back, updating my Tiger partition (with  
the latest iTunes, etc). And I believe I stopped the Spotlight  
indexing under Tiger, which may have caused the problem.

Curious how Spotlight handles things when you go from one OS X to  
another (Leopard > Tiger > Leopard). I believe stopping it in Tiger  
using Privacy can cause corruption of the index files?

The long mount time should have been just due to journal replays.

Show us the entries, please.

Stop that.  Simplify the problem.  *Reduce* the number of variables. 
Turn the indexing OFF.

sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/*
sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/*

Then leave them off.

Run a verify disk pass with Disk Utility on all of your volumes. 
Make sure they've survived so far.  (You have up to date backups, 
right?)

Then leave the indexing off.  Run for a while.  If the panics 
continue, go back to looking at hardware.

Interrupting spotlight's indexing, regardless of which OS, is a Bad 
Idea.  Spotlight is Fragile.

>using Privacy can cause corruption of the index files?

I vaguely remember reading that there's enough diff in the index 
contents that Spotlight ends up rebuilding the whole thing each time 
you boot into the diff OS.

I was running memtest from applejack, interrupted with ctrl-c, then  
attempted to restart from applejack. Got a kp. 2 Restarts using the  
Restart button below the power button, and I'm back in running this  
sequence (above).

I'll report back if I have any more problems without Spotlight on the  
scene.

Thanks for your help at this late hour ... I'm now returning to  
applejack (memtest) ...
