The only extension I'm using is:
»[FireFox] Adblock Plus 2.23 for Firefox released
I have submit crash reports disabled. As some have noted with this build of FF, it's a bit buggy.
I only use three ABP subs, that is probably the cause.
I'll take application hangs over malvertizing.

As noted: »Re: [FireFox] Firefox 19.0 Final
I've disabled the native FF PDF viewer to default.
IMO, the more in-Browser widgets you allow, the more likely your're going to see issues.
Granted Moz wanted to make this a convenience for users.
It now seems to be causing more issues than it's worth running.

It also could be an AV causing the freezing or crashing. What filter sets for ABP are you using. If you do not mind me asking?

If PDF (Portable Document Format) had simply remained a mechanism to view/print documents across platforms I doubt we'd have all these issues. That said Adobe had to (to sell updates) add more bells'n'whistles to it making it a hackers paradise.

Most of the time I simply view/search/print sections of PDF's. I love manuals in PDF format since they're searchable and more durable (know where your Microwave manual is?).

Don't feed trolls--it only makes them grow!

I used to have [many feet of] shelves of paper manuals [mostly] in binders. Then I had a few essential manuals--with notes and Post-Its--and a small pack of CDs (with PDFs but mostly with Book Manager docs). Then the CDs were replaced by online PDFs (all of which could be downloaded if one wanted). I hardly ever touch paper manuals now. Meh... time marches on.

I think I'm one of the few that does this but before buying any product (especially electronic) I download and view the PDF manual for it first. You can learn a lot from that without getting out of your seat.

(FYI my next step is to search for and read online reviews).

Anyone having a problem with Bing since the update?

reply to siljaline
Well i have ran out of suggestions on how to solve the issue, but i would recommend to get rid of Fanboy filter set, because it is too aggressive.

Fanboy might be too aggressive but it works, I'll take the odd application hang over malvertising any day

I've disable hardware acceleration since why should a browser make demands of your GPU

You can try creating a new profile, and see if it would fix the issue.

If I need to run FF under alternate profiles to make it work under some situations that only means one thing, the purposes unto which I require Moz are exhausted.

I would sooner run IE and see some ads, in Facebook and other places.

The Moz Devs read this board often enough, they will get the hint this release is hindered in many ways.

Or you could stop using an extension not fully compatible with the latest release of the browser until it is updated to be more fully compatible? ...and, of course, how many days before the point-release of Fx19.0.1 "fixes everything it broke"? (and breaks something else, no doubt)

Looks like Firefox 19.0.1 is coming soon »tknowmore.blogspot.com/2013/01/m···oad.html

I definitely would not click on those links at that site and download anything. Granted, a 19.0.1 version will be out. Mozilla always comes out with a .1 and sometimes a .2 version of final releases, but there is no evidence right now of a 19.0.1 build at their ftp site, but I may have missed it.

reply to NotTheMama
I'm good to go and await the next less buggy release.

I'm not sure they ever do get less buggy.
