You can tell it's cold

If I believed in God, I would take the fact that since wind farms have become commonplace, the UK has tended to get hit by very still, cold winters, as proof that He has a sense of humour, at least.

Oh, and those still hot days, when everybody wants to run their aircon too ....

odd. gridwatch shows OK on Firefox 8.0 on Linux, but Firefox 10 in a virtual machine running XP shows all meters at zero. IE 8.0 on the same virtual machine works.

With FF10 on a physical Win7 machine here, it's fine.

Started working shortly after I posted... doh! I'd just installed FF10 and wondered if it was that.

Yeah, plusnet's traffic shaping went squiffy for an hour or so this morning, until they admitted it I also wondered if it was FF10 mis-behaving

the odd thing yesterday was that we were importing as much from Holland as we were exporting to France..don't they have an extension cable somewhere they can plug in?

Nice to see the nukes running just about flat out - looks like all the maintenance and refuelling is done and the colder seas are scraping a few hundred MW more out of the condensors.

All meters at zero is because you were the person that happened to time out the cache, and go live to bmpreports..and they failed to respond.

Just reload.

OT: where did you get FF10? did you compile the beta

EDF have switched one off at Hinkley

It seems to be 'out there'; I just installed slackware on a machine this morning - which came with FF 8.x bundled - and the first time I ran it, it said that 10.x was the latest version and offered to download it for me.

(comments on whether it's worth having vs. 8.x are welcome; I like sercurity fixes, of course, but some FF releases just seem to add bloat and gimmicky features without really doing anything useful)

cheers

Came up on my computer as an offering from the regular automatic check. Failing that, Firefox > Help > About Firefox.

There's a Thunderbird v10 available too.

Nah, Firefox 9.0.1 stamped its foot and demanded that I upgrade.

Dungeness B seems to be more out of service than on.

Can't find a similar status page for the couple of Magnox stations that are still in service.

I must say I didn't know Hinckley was still going..

I think you can just about see the dip it represents..

Oh.. that's odd .. mine says 'up to date' and yet the mozilla site says

I'll try and find the source release.. Debian is still on version

Its got a bit better on memory management the last couple of releases but there are sill memory leaks I think. I have to occasionally shut down to clear the swap space out..

Or that might be virtual box. Hard to tell.

It's on Softpedia. I'm on PaleMoon 9.something and will wait for the update

- PaleMoon very rarely goes with the first version, but waits for a.x that irons out the silly bugs.

still on iceweasel v2.summat. It works...

I only upgrade when I have to except firefox - I need to keep up in case my websites break on it.

I think they stagger the update notifications from the browsers. Give it a day and it might auto-update. Mine did first thing this morning.

I installed firefox on Debian 6, manually back at version 4 (not from source, but from their supplied binary) and it's auto-updated sine then.

Probably the plugins more than anything else. I run very "plugin-lite" and while it grows over time, it seems to stabilise at about 1GB after a few weeks - but then it starts to get slow - I think there is some internal innefficiencies in the memory allocator/garbage routines...

Currently very low, relatively speaking:

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

thats with 3 windows, a few dozen tabs and only adblock+, flashblocker and ghostery enabled. Not done too much browsing today.

Released on 31st Jan

Similarly TB10, but since you're still on TB2 I assume you dislike the newer releases?

Sorry, missed the 'X11' in your headers, depends if you like installing from tar files, or waiting for your distro (or a 3rd party repo) to catch up ...
