Amen to that, I have that problem too and cannot figure why it happens. It didn't seem to happen when I first got my N900 so I can only think its something I installed that broke it, or something in PR1.1.1 as I can't remember if it was fine after I flashed clean or not.

Re: [Mods ]Browser Mods
 

This issue is quite intermittent, actually. Sometimes (very rarely tough) browser starts pageload instantly, yet more often that annoying lag occurs. Fennec/Firefox doesn't seem to have this problem at all.

Re: [Mods ]Browser Mods
 

Does anyone elses browser flicker each time they return to microB from the multi tasking window?

Re: [Mods ]Browser Mods
 

I get that everytime. I think it's something to do with the page being copied when you switch to save memory?

Good news though, when I tried LPR 1.2, it seems to have gone.

Re: [Mods ]Browser Mods
 

can this be altered in about:config?

Re: [Mods ]Browser Mods
 

I always thought this was due to the power saving feature. Wifi connection has an option to set power saving to None. It's Maximum by default. Not so sure about 3G connection though as there's no such option. But yeah, it would be good if it was more immediate. Sometimes, it's instant with no lag, sometimes, lag is annoyingly long.

Re: [Mods ]Browser Mods
 

Well, that's what I have been suspecting too, yet the same lag occurs while loading html stored in device memory (ie. file:///home/user/MyDocs/something.html). Let's see if PR1.2 fixes that... upgrading as we speak.

UPDATE:
Nope, nothing changed - the lag is still there in PR1.2.

The best browser to mod on I think is the earlier Fennec/minefield builds. Here is some pics of mine running fasterfox custom settings.This build http://arstechnica.com/open-source/n...ser-market.ars (bottom of page) of Fennec gives you desktop minefield to mod and play with.

EDIT: [GREAT WEBBROWSER FEATURE - PROBLEM SOLVED]

FEATURE - HOW TO GET FULL VERSION OF WEBSITES INSTEAD OF THE MOBILE VERSION:

i finally found the easiest solution - its described here:
http://gerrymoth.co.uk/?p=108

The easiest solution is to download and install "Hide User Agent" from extras-devel (in the networking section)

to get the full webbrowsing experience i wrote "Firefox/3.6.3" as user agent... this can be done by launching "Settings" in the App menu (and then theres a setting installed there called "Hide user agent")


heres some configs that may be useful for compatibility purposes - i took them from his website:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.1; en-us; dream) AppleWebKit/525.10+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Mobile Safari/523.12.2

Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.4; U; Series60/5.0 Nokia5800d-1/21.0.025; Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 ) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413

Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.2; U; Series60/3.1 NokiaE71/1.00.000; Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 ) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413

PS. BTW, there may be a reason its configured for mobile use... as example, on youtube u will now be able to choose 360p, 480p and 720p - and u will see that 720p+ hogs the device quite a bit :)

(here is the old post:)

hey there, i have a request for a mod:

When i visit several famous sites like Google, Facebook and MSN the webbrowser autodefault to visit the MOBILE VERSION of the page.

REQUEST: how would i tweak the browser to falsely identify itself as a desktop computer, so that i will visit the desktop version as default?

im willing to install another webbrowser if that is what is required, but those ive tried so far have no option to change this ...atleast i havent found a option like this.


PS. i know there are links on Facebook and Google to visit desktop version, but many websites dont have this option - and therefore there is no way to visit the Desktop version on those sites.

Re: [Mods ]Browser Mods
 

I've noticed that some of these changes have already been made in my browser... I'm running on PR 1.2 and I have all the network pipelining options set to true already and nglayout.initialpaint.delay is set to zero.

Tracemonkey is still disabled though.

Re: [Mods ]Browser Mods
 

how can i change the zoom levels so that the maximum zoom levels arent so large, or that if when i double tap it doesnt too far in?

Re: [Mods ]Browser Mods
 

awesome thread, anymore mods??

Re: [Mods ]Browser Mods
 

Greetings,

My experience is that when I enter a search in the location bar, above it appears a "google search" option, which if clicked on directs to the mobile site, regardless of the setting in about:config. Is there any way to change this too?

Thanks
