As we all know by now, there is a bug in Firefox at the moment that causes GIF animations to lag the browser. Essentially, Firefox keeps telling your graphics card to draw the images over and over again even though it doesn't need to. Meph posted a hotfix a while ago for those who didn't want to swap to Chrome - Shrink the browser to the size of a DS screen. However, I've accidentally stumbled upon my own fix that somehow works quite well. Tap's Fix: Play all trials within Firefox's safe mode. Seriously. I'm using Firefox 5.0.1 at the moment, and whenever I play it outside safe mode, the text speed lags. By restarting the browser in safe mode, the text speed is executed exactly as you set it to. There's no need to resize the screen. {How do you open Firefox in safe mode?} - 1. Click the "Firefox" icon at the top of the screen.
- 2. Scroll down to "Help" and select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". Firefox will then restart in safe mode, although it'll hit you with the safe mode dialog box first.

That's going to get annoying but I just might be bothered to use it someday.
Will this override variables, or block external content? I'm somewhat worried about that.

It hasn't blocked any external content or overridden any variables for me yet, BB. And uh, I don't know, BP.

To confirm, if you have two windows open in Firefox, starting up Safe Mode will restart both of them into safe mode. So no  _________________Engaged to Gumpei <3 Bad Player wrote: Yes, that's exactly correct.

Hmmm, Safe Mode didn't fix the bug for me. But I wasn't having a huge problem with text speed in the first place. At least, I don't care about it being slow. I don't have that gif bug though I think, or at least noticeably. _________________The wolf knows what the ill heart thinks.BEHOLD, the ULTIMATE CASE: MACFIA, an epic journey through time and space.

Odd, I'm certain the text is working a lot faster now... Do you have the latest version of Firefox mAc? This might be a version specific type of thing for who knows what reason.

The bug only started in Firefox 4 when they updated Firefox's graphics engine called "Cairo" to the latest version. This bug doesn't occur in Firefox 3.6, but please don't use Firefox 3.6. I think the bug will be fixed in either Firefox 8 or 9, but I can't be certain. They'll be released some time in late Autumn or Winter this year.  Also, you're less likely to experience this if you have an expensive, jealousy-inducing graphics card and CPU.

I already use Chrome. I actually like it better than Firefox.

I also use Chrome, but for some reason, the evidence display box and special sprites (the OBJECTION, HOLD IT, CROSS EXAM animations) show at a very low opacity most of the time and sometimes character animations won't play.
It may have that bug, but for AAO, Firefox is definitely better.

It doesn't matter what I do, I tried running firefox in safemode. I tried manually disabling all the addons (except flashplayer because that gives me sound) and I tried shrinking the browser. NOTHING!! HELP!!

What's your computer's Windows Experience Index rating? To find out, search for "wei" in the start menu. Also, is hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled?
