Firefox sucks for FFR

NamaKun · 11-4-2007, 10:56 AM

Why does it suck for FFR, though? I get more AVmisses, sometimes it's laggy, etc..

I just recently made the switch from Windows to Ubuntu, and I'm not sure how to cope with Firefox and FFR.

Any tips?

FrenzyMidget · 11-4-2007, 11:01 AM

Firefox and IE are equals for FFR, really. For a selective few players Firefox or IE might cause them trouble, but I'm pretty sure both browsers work fine for most players. Try clearing your cache , etc.

As far as switching to a Linux OS, I can't help you on that as I know little of its compatibility with FFR.

Edit: You could try Safari.

Firefox works fine for me.

**ninjafury** · 11-4-2007, 12:13 PM

Firefox and IE work the same for me

Firefox and IE are NOT the same for FFR.

Firefox syncs every song 1 frame later than IE (and IE is usually correct). This makes for lots of offsyncness and awkward gameplay.

Moral of the story: play on IE.

? Serious ?

Firefox is much better then IE.

We have something called AdBlock+
No adds.

I read that in a thread a while back and tried it. IE is a **** load better than Firefox

Firefox is horrible for FFR. I tried it. Deffinitly no the same. Like Namakun said, more AVmisses.
I use IE now though, and it runs like a champ even on my pos computer.

greekanilater · 11-4-2007, 12:55 PM

i also use ubuntu firefox stoped working as well try opera... thats what i did. fire fox stoped working when i switched from fiesty fawn to gutsy given. see the problem in this thread its turning into a ie vs firefox. its a personaly choice. and i dont think ie works very well with linux. so i would suggest opera. and when firefox cowitch backmes out with a new update swiych back.

http://www.opera.com/

Relambrien · 11-4-2007, 01:06 PM

I've played on both IE and FF and didn't notice a difference in my scores so...yeah.

Maybe it's just me, but they both work fine for me.

greekanilater · 11-4-2007, 01:08 PM

i hate opera but opera is better than ie

NamaKun · 11-4-2007, 01:33 PM

wow @ people saying to use IE instead.

Did I not say I'm on LINUX? IE is made by MICROSOFT, I.E the people who made Windows.
I'm not going to run a windows emulator for FFR

Thanks for the tip, Greek. I also found that they make an SM version for Linux. :3

**dore** · 11-4-2007, 01:35 PM

Run both OS.

Nah. I have WINE to run my windows apps, but to be honest I really don't want microsoft products on my PC. My hate for their apps is what made me switch in the first place D:

I'ma just play SM for the time being, apparently there's supposed to be a firefox patch coming out soon to handle these problems.

**Pyroshock** · 11-4-2007, 02:03 PM

Just get Opera.

Dammit, I knew somebody was gonna post this before I did. ^_^

**Synthlight** · 11-4-2007, 04:08 PM

NamaKun.. If you switched because you hate microsoft apps, it's really kind of a silly reason to switch. Just don't use microsoft apps. Unless you love compiling and developing, Linux will be a pain for you. Even with wine you will find it to be a pain in the ass to play games.

Linux has it's advantages, I would know.. I usually have 5-8 shell windows open on my desktop anytime connected to the FFR linux servers. But for normal home use, you would have an easier time switching to the Mac OS instead of linux.

Beyond that, it's extremely easy to get rootkitted.. What are you using for protection on Ubuntu?

Cheers,

What?

...When did IE become better than Firefox? What year is this?

FFR + Firefox = <3
I've never had any problems since I switched from IE to Firefox.
