This problem has been completely fixed for me by upgrading to Firefox 3.5b99. Give it a shot!

That works perfectly! Any idea on how to make it a Greasemonkey script, so it'll just work instead of having to click the bookmarklet? – Tim Lindenschmidt, on May 12, 2009 03:48

I blocked all the images, it was still slow. (shrug) I've upgraded to FF3.5b4, but it still does it. – Tim Lindenschmidt, on April 28, 2009 10:02

A comment on the question "Twitter slow in Firefox" in Twitter:

No, Rick, when I narrow it, it DOES rectify, but I went through every single thumbnail, and they were all 24x24, the way they ought to be. I mean, the sidebar does seem to be the issue, but it's not a giant-size thumbnail that's doing it. – Tim Lindenschmidt, on April 26, 2009 02:20

A comment on the question "Twitter slow in Firefox" in Twitter:

this isn't my problem. none of the thumbnails are bigger than 24x24. in fact, the largest picture is the 128x128 favicon (who needs a favicon that big...) but that's not big enough to cause this problem. – Tim Lindenschmidt, on April 26, 2009 01:15

I'm not even sure it's a Twitter problem. I mean, I'm not sure if it's a problem caused by Twitter, or if it's caused by something Twitter uses.

I have the slow typing/slow scrolling problem at home (winxp sp3, ff3.0.8), and it's just interminable. There's another site or two that have similar OMG SLOOOOOW problems as well (most notable human-age.com, age 3) and they use extensive flash and javascript. Stuff is just slooooow.

Yet, at work on my laptop (Vista Ultimate SP1, ff3.0.8), no problems whatsoever on any of these sites.

It was suggested by someone that it could be a poor video driver causing the problem, but I dunno. Updating drivers at home (for my nvidia card) never fixes the problem so (shrug).

Hi! Thanks for the replies.

So, I tried the skin change in 3b5 to see if it would help -- it didn't. I can't get pmog to not throw the cannot parse/no tools available error under 3b5 on XP SP2. It works just fine on that computer/internet connection pairing under 2.0.0.14 on XP SP2 tho.

Back at work now, and it does still work perfectly under 3b5 and Pre-SP1 Vista Ultimate, so it's looking like a FF3b5+XP SP2 issue? But that's strange and backwards, and confuses me.

At any rate, for the time being, I can use ff2 at home and ff3 here, and pmog it up, and also not encounter the error I upgraded to 3 to avoid (as it was a work-centric error). Hopefully it will be fixed in a new release candidate of ff3, or someone else will have this problem and you'll be able to narrow down the cause.

Thanks again for your help. :)

Update!
Okay, so, I remembered that I hadn't uninstalled FF2 on this computer, so I could load it upand try without any effort.

The problem doesn't exist in Firefox 2.0.0.14 on my XP SP2 machine. It only exists in 3b5 on XP SP2. On 3b5 on pre-sp1 Vista Ultimate (my work machine), no problem.

A comment on the problem ""No tools will be available" on every site? What gives?" in GameLayers:

Yeah, 3b5 worked fine at work, so I'm not sure. I actually just upgraded to 3 to get away from a bug I was experiencing in 2, so I'd rather not go back. I'll stick with it, and see if it gets its act in gear. I'm home from work until tomorrow, but I'll test it again there, make sure it still works, when I get in. I'll post again when I do / when something changes.

Thanks :) – Tim Lindenschmidt, on May 13, 2008 04:32

"No tools will be available" on every site? What gives?

At work, everything works fine (through a proxy, dodgy slow internet, etc., no problems with PMOG). At home, though, with a direct connection, and faster internet, the toolbar spends forever saying "Getting items for this page", and then changes to "There was an error parsing this page no tools will be available".

I can't, you know, play if there's no access to tools. I'm using Firefox3b5 in both locations.

Is it just coincidence that I came home and suddenly the PMOG servers went south, or is there a problem here at home that is fixable? Help please!
