how to enable silverlight in firefox after disabling

I ended up finally giving up on FF 2.0.0.17, which I had been holding on to because of extensions not updated for 3.0. (b) I don't know what they were set to before, so it is hard to tell whether the Silverlight install changed any of them.ĭid anyone make a note of their browser settings before installing and after to see if the install was changing settings? (a) don't know enough about them to feel completely comfortable changing them, and But the only way I can imagine that working is to delete everything in the process, which means all my profile settings, preferences, etc, which would suck.ī is set to true, and there are several other settings dealing with cache/memory, but I I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall FF, but I will if I have to. I'm hoping someone out there with more know-how than me can point me to a few key files to delete/unregister or something? I'm guessing this was a deliberate 'flaw' inserted by MS to drive people away from FF.

This started when I installed Silverlight, and removing that MS pestilence did not return FF to its previous level of function. If I open a bunch of tabs but later close all but one, and then Ctrl-Shift-Del to clear all saved info, the Memory Usage (Task Manager) never goes much lower, and steadily increases during usage until at about 600-700Mb I need to close FF and reopen because it is working so slowly, using 50% of the CPU and hanging for long periods after every action. dll's that MS installs but leaves behind after uninstall that might be causing this? There is some buffer that now is not being cleared. Update: I uninstalled but FF seems permanently slowed somehow.ĭoes anyone know whether there are. I think I will probably uninstall after the Games are finished, but knowing MS there will be plenty of dingleberries left behind on my hard drive. Is it running any components of IE and are there security implications as a result? I use FF, but I notice that files show up in the temprary IE folders when using Silverlight.

One of the reasons I want to be able to know when it is running is to determine whether it may be running when I am not using it and slowing down the browser unnecessarily.)Ģ. What does it run as? It is supposedly a browser add-on, but it is not listed in my FF add-ons list, so how would I disable it if I wanted to? No services show up in the Task Manager Processes or in the Services application either, so where the heck is it running? (I would also add that FF has been very, very slow since around the same time as installing Silverlight. It seems to work OK, but I have a few questions if someone has a moment.ġ. I gave up and downloaded Silverlight to watch streaming Olympics coverage.
