I just had one issue in that a page(on AP) didn't load at all, and it was after a series of rightclicks and open in new tab operations.
That's my usual MO, where I flick throough as many new posts as I can in one tab, and open many threads in new tabs, as I continue to flick through the new posts pages.
Doing this before I emptied the cache, may have resulted in many of the new tabs simply not loading at all, and others having loaded correctly.
I just opened well over 10 new tabs.. possibly 20 new tabs and only one page didn't load at all, and all others loaded correctly.
Can't comment on many other sites and the performance on them .. I barely get enough time to fully browse through AP!
I checked the work PC earlier and it was running on FF4 point whatever, but I don't know exactly which. When I opened FF for the first time this morning, it just finished updating to FF5!
So.. I'm guessing that any FF5 plus AP issues may be server related and not just a case of FF5's 'new aggressive caching issues'
Still got all my tabs open and FF5 is still working fine on any of them I care to look at and update.
I'm a long term Thunderbird/FireFox user and lately I have been re-evaluating my decision. The quality control and support for these programs have been heading down-hill for a while now.
I occasionally have to hit reload in FF5, and it is definitely a lot slower than it used to be. At first I attributed it to my ISP and/or other software I'm running, but it has become clearer that FF5 itself is to blame. Friends of mine have been touting Chrome as a superior browser, and I have to admit I'm tempted lately.
As for Thunderbird, my latest experience has been the penultimate straw. After installing TB5, it would crash immediately upon running, and I couldn't access my emails for a day. I finally found - thanks to Google and NO thanks to the Thunderbird site - an old version that I could re-install. I was afraid that the install of TB5 may have altered some configuration files that would prevent me from downgrading, but fortunately that wasn't the case.
It has been over a week now since others have reported the same problem as me, and still there is no fix, or even acknowledgement, of the problem from the TB team. And it's not the 1st time a bug has been reported by many users but 'ignored' for weeks on end by the support team.
