FF 45.x and resulting broken sites

<< < (4/6) > >>

mauro:
just for giving feedback, mi FF 45.9 situation in browsing Linkedin after login does not change, progress bar keeps searching without opening anything, and whole system get much less responsive.
This also after adding both THREADS=3072  and SET KAI_AUTOMODE=UNIAUD lines in config.sys

roberto:
Hello Mauro
I would distinguish two problems, one would be not being able to open the linkedin website,
 I cannot open it either. I understand that this is a specific problem with a page with Adobe ...
 The other problem I had was that the processors were going full and the Seamonke 2-42-9EXP3
 collapsed.
 It may be that your system becomes less responsive, but I think it may be because
 I run arcaos on a real-pc, and you on a virtual machine.
 It occurs to me that if you completely remove the swapper it is possible that in a virtualization
 it works better, why put 2048 2048 on it?
 This I have not tried and I do not know the consequences.
saludos

Hi Roberto, check out http://www.edm2.com/index.php/CONFIG.SYS_-_Commands#MEMMAN
The advice is old so with modern machines with 2GB+ of memory, going with NOSWAP is usually fine. Removing PROTECT will break DOS and WINOS2 so only remove it if you care.

Dave Yeo:
Looking at https://validator.w3.org/nu/?useragent=Validator.nu%2FLV+http%3A%2F%2Fvalidator.w3.org%2Fservices&acceptlanguage=&doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2F and the error console, linkedin just seems broken. Perhaps they'll fix it.

The maximum setting for THREADS I believe is 1024, 3072 is max for VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT. With THREADS, the lower, the less memory is used.
@Dariusz, you could try a new profile but the odds are that they've moved to some JavaScript that our old browser just doesn't support. It's now a Microsoft owned site and they want you to use Edge. Same thing with Github, lots of stuff doesn't even display anymore, and it is also owned by Microsoft.

Just a head ups... Guess what Microsoft Edge is using under the bonnet, the same browser engine as the upcoming new browser from BWW.
The
I have a alpha version running here of the web browser... Its getting along, but not yet ready for prime time demo.
Websites like github are working. 

And I do not think the Github and Linkedin are not working because there are Microsoft websites.
Its simply that dispite your efforts to try and keep the current builds of Firefox 45 and Seamonkey alive I am just afraid more and more websites as webdevelopers update code will start to fall over...

Check www.9292ov.nl. That website in some cases no longer loaded. Mijn.ing.nl has started to work inreliable (after logging into my bank account).
All of these Dutch websites have started using webstandards the Firefox 45 sadly no longer supports.
The Dutch goverment digital indentity system Digid with 2 way authentication is also kaput...
