Firefox freezes up on Facebook. Google Chrome does not. Why?

When I log on to Facebook it freezes and i cannot scroll up or down. This does not happen on Google Chrome

The Facebook news feed usually includes some videos. In case those are causing issues, you could temporarily set Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate"). This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it.
To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
Not sure whether that will help.

[SOLVED] Google Chrome does not work on my T61

SOLVED. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE OF SYMANTEC ENDPOINT PROTECTION.
Hello Everyone.
I wonder if anyone can use Google Chrome on T61.
I got my T61 from Hong Kong 5 months ago and I am using Windows Vista SP1 32 Bit Traditional Chinese.
After I installed Google Chrome, it couldn' t connect to any websites. I had tried to uninstall it and even reinstall my computer, but it still doesn't work. The Internet Explorer does work.
Surprisingly, I can connect to different websites using Google Chrome when I use Windows XP on Virtual PC. It seems that it's related to the OS itself. I will try to use Vista on Virtual PC, but I hope that you guys will be able to solve my problem.
Thanks you very much.
Edwin

It might be helpful to provide some more details such as: will it not install?, will it install and not run?, will it run but give error message?, etc, etc, etc.
Another option may be to use the Google Chrome Help site which has

Yoga 2 Pro: Google Chrome does not open properly

Link to image
I have a Yoga Thinkpad 13.3 convertible which I recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 with no apparent problems. A few days later I tried to open Google Chrome - the screen wouldn't open properly and wouldn't respond. I tried to uninstall the progam and couldn't do that either, or download a new version. A computer technician friend has since managed to get Chrome to uninstall and cleared the registry and downloaded Chrome again but it still isn't working - the screen shot is what it's like at the moment and he is baffled, he's never come across this before. Is there a conflict between Chrome and Windows 8.1?
If anyone has a solution please explain in simple language I'm not particularly computer literate when it comes to technical speak.

Chrome works fine in 8.1
Try creating a new user account, then uninstall/reinstall chrome using the offline installer.

With FireFox 3.6.12 (ubuntu) Google Docs does not allow me to log in.

Using FireFox 3.6.12 (ubuntu) I can not successfully access Google Docs. All my other Google accounts seem to work under FireFox, just not Google Docs. Google Docs currently works on other platforms like Chrome so this seems to be FireFox specific.

Be careful with setting the user agent to IE because that can make website send content (JavaScript and CSS) files that only work in IE and not in Firefox.<br />
Google Docs should work in Firefox with the normal settings, unless Ubuntu made some changes with their branded version that is causing problems on that site.
* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How to make firefox render fonts as google-chrome does? (screenshot)

How do I make firefox render fonts as google chrome does as shown in screenshot? (Chrome below and firefox above)
Notice for instance the dash "/", "Explore", "Features" etc and the text at the bottom "added git_fixes".
I'm no expert but is it antialiasing that makes the difference? Cause it seems the font is the same, right?
.Xresources
Xft.dpi: 120
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.lcdfilter: lcdlight
~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign">
<const>hintfull</const>
</edit>
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
<const>lcdlight</const>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
I have ttf-win7-fonts installed, and also recently I've installed Infinality (haven't configured it, necessary?).
Advice appreciated.

well in firefox you can chose your font and then unclick the let sites chose there own fonts.
ya looking at your picture I do see the diff. but I do not have that pixelation in my firefox.
.Xresources has nothing to do with gtk
I do want to let sites choose their own fonts though.
When I look closely on my screenshot I wonder if it's even the same font though (the "3" looks very different).
Perhaps that's where the problem lies.
If I force firefox to use Arial, it looks good. If I set it to Helvetica which seems to be the font used, it looks like in the screenshot - pixelated.
$ fc-match helvetica
helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"
Seems it doesn't use truetype (helvetica.ttf?) as default font for helvetica - shouldn't it?

Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - Aways saying Autofill not available for this page even on pages I have used it before FF4 upgrade

Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - It aways gives the message "Autofill not available for this page". This is happening on pages I have used Autofill on before upgrading to FF4 from Firefox 3.5.x

i did not see a solution posted - I tired what I read. Going back to an old version may solve the problem but it is a stupid solution so I have yet to do that.
I am on version 4 and autofil this does not work :
Popular answer Go to this answer
Uninstall version 5, then Google "google toolbar version 4", follow the link to FileHippo.com, and download and install the last version 4. When you reinstall it, make sure you turn off the option to perform automatic updates.

Firefox shows an unknown certificate error while Chrome does not for same site

On a site at which Credit Card payment info is shown, Firefox is reporting a certificate error while Chrome does not. Prefer to use FF but need to know if warning is right or not. Have cleared the cache and still get the warning. This is new to FF as we've used it on this site for several years.

HI khetheri,
In order to better test the certificate may we request the certificate without the private keys? I have some backup from the security team if this is possible.
There is a temporary work around as well but I don't recommend turning on all certificates to make sure it is not a compatibility error(ish)
It is possible to check if it is being detected as a bad certificate in Firefox itself to eliminate compatibility issues.
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Search for '''browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert ''' and set it to true to try the certificate normally.
Looking forward to your reply!

Any chance you have a dial-up connection that uses a web accelerator to speed the loading of content?
