			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've installed Firefox 3, and it looks like they may have rushed it out the door a bit. I'm seeing some sloppy display bugs that are kind of annoying. I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3. See for yourself:</p>
<p>Note the clipping along the bottom of the statusbar, as underscores and descenders are cut off.<br />
<img src="http://yabfog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ff3-statusbar-bug01.png" alt="" title="ff3-statusbar-bug01" width="516" height="25" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-188" /></p>
<p>But check this out. Same theme, but with XP Styles enabled (not my personal preference), and the clipping is gone.<br />
<img src="http://yabfog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ff3-statusbar-bug01-fix.png" alt="" title="ff3-statusbar-bug01-fix" width="513" height="20" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-189" /></p>
<p>Now, look at the noise in this shot. Where is that coming from?!<br />
<img src="http://yabfog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ff3-statusbar-bug02.png" alt="" title="ff3-statusbar-bug02" width="172" height="23" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-186" /></p>
<p>Finally, check out the left-side alignment, as "<span style="text-decoration: underline;">W</span>ork offline" is not aligned with the other menu items.<br />
<img src="http://yabfog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ff3-menubar-bug01-186x300.png" alt="" title="ff3-menubar-bug01" width="186" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-187" /></p>
<p>That last one is only present when I use the Azerty III theme, but the other bugs appear in the Default theme, as well.</p>
<p>Seen any others?</p>
<p><strong><a name="ff3db_update">Update:</a></strong> Surprise, surprise! Went through the tedious process of disabling all add-ons then re-enabling each of them one by one, and it turns out that those statusbar display bugs were caused by Forecastfox and Foxclocks (not in combination, either one alone causes the display issues).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>UPDATE: FIXED. See the comments below.</strong></p>
<p>A couple weeks ago, I installed <a href="http://www.twitbin.com">twitbin</a>, a Firefox extension that loads <a href="http://twitter.com">twitter</a> in a sidebar. But, I just happened to be checking my browser cookies, and I noticed that my twitter username and <strong>PASSWORD</strong> were stored in my browser cookies in <strong><em>plaintext</em></strong>! This is not even a session cookie -- it is persistent, with a one-year expiration.</p>
<p>Are you kidding me?! Twitbin -- uninstalled.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to <a href="http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/archives/009749.html">Inside Firefox - The Inside Track on Firefox Development</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>For those who remain concerned, here's how the feature works. Firefox has a preference <code>browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers</code> which by default is set to -1. When set to this value, Firefox calculates the amount of memory in the system, according to this breakdown:</p>
<table border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>RAM</td>
<td>Number of Cached Pages</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>32MB</td>
<td>0</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>64MB</td>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>128MB</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>256MB</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>512MB</td>
<td>5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1GB</td>
<td>8</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2GB</td>
<td>8</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4GB</td>
<td>8</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</blockquote>
<p>Bottom line: setting <code>browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers</code> to something low will help avoid this memory hogging.</p>
