Facebook. No idea what could cause this for you. Have you tried it
with all add-ons disabled?</p>
<p>Spinning beachballs on websites depend on your system specs. FB
is quite a challenge to any browser. What's your processor
type/speed and memory installed?</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/408944642016-10-04T02:18:02Z2016-10-04T02:18:03ZFacebook issues iv'e noticed.<div><p>It's a mac mini 1.42 GHz G4 (7450) with the max ram of 1GB DDR

I figured out the glitch with the typing I have to set the cursor
in the box and wait a few seconds for things to load I traced it
back to a plugin called FBP "Facebook Purity" it changes the code
around to get rid of annoyances but call times are longer on this
old box. With that plugin disabled page load times are faster and
the glitch dose not happen so I will have to live with this if I
want to continue using it. Also dose prefetching and
network.http.pipelineing increase memory usage when enabled in
about:config? got both set low maxrequests and
max-optimistic-requests set to 2. Seems to make pages load faster
when these are enabled.</p></div>Brian Szemontag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/408944642016-10-04T02:28:08Z2016-10-04T02:36:40ZFacebook issues iv'e noticed.<div><p>I would strongly recommend <em>against</em> prefetching. What
happens in that case is that the browser will try to guess where
you'll go next and have those resources ready. On a multiple CPU
machine this might pay off if it guesses right (it doesn't always),
but on a single CPU like your mini you will spend additional time
grabbing those files and trying to handle them <em>at the same
time</em> the browser is trying to handle the page you're currently
looking at. It will certainly increase memory usage trying to get
those files speculatively, and it will probably make things slower
overall.</p>
<p>As far as pipelining, you can try it and for many sites it does
improve things, but for other sites it's a wash and a few sites
will not work properly, which is why it is not the default.</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/408944642016-10-04T02:36:20Z2016-10-04T02:36:21ZFacebook issues iv'e noticed.<div><p>Thanks Cameron I've disabled prefetching but will still continue
to experiment with the pipelineing the default numbers were too
high and why i settled on setting both to 2.</p></div>Brian Szemon
