Web browser

I’m trying to decide which web browser to use. I’ve been using Firefox for a couple of years, but recently it has started behaving weirdly. When I restart my computer after it has been “asleep” I have to restart Firefox, which means that I have to close all tabs. I have tried to set it to open every session with the same pages/tabs open as when it last closed, but it doesn’t seem to be working. This really bugs me because I like Firefox and want to use it. So I tried Opera and didn’t quite like it, and right now I’m testing Safari. I think I could be comfortable with Safari in the long run. But then what about Zotero? Zotero only runs in Firefox, Netscape Navigator and Flock (which I hadn’t heard of until today). And then I need Internet Explorer to be able to pay bills etc via my bank.
Sigh… I think I will look into Flock and maybe Netscape Navigator.

  1. Hej,
    Prova att ta bort din firefox-profil (backupa dina favoriter först). Antar att du kör Mac och då kan jag inte ge exakta råd. På PC kan man ta bort profilen och skapa helt ny om det skulle strula, vilket det kan göra om man installerar plugins fram och tillbaka och har uppdaterat FF mycket sedan originalinstallationen.

  2. Tack - får prova det! Nej, jag har PC.

  3. Flock is a modified version of Firefox. So if you’re having problems with Firefox the chances are Flock won’t work either.

    And Netscape is discontinuing its upgrades. They are closing shop.

    Your best bet is to look at the setting in your about:config of Firefox. I may be as simple as changing one setting.

  4. Oops. I am here.

  5. Thanks for the advice. Yes, I realized that about Flock and Netscape when I read about them. I’ve reinstalled Firefox and created a new profile and I’m hoping this will resolve some of the issues.
