GUI bug?

Post by H4rDw4rE » 2014-06-09, 12:20

Hi to all.

After upgrading to latest version of Palemoon I noticed something strange in it's GUI.
It looks like that there is no enough power (mean CPU and Graphic card) while starting Palemoon.
After few seconds everything is ok.
Tried on PC and laptop.
First I suspect it is my graphic card (Intel GMA 965 integrated graphics), but same problem appeared in my PC which has nVidia 8800GT (surely has enough power) and C2D 8500 with 4GB of RAM.
After that I tried to disable all addons and it seems that it could be problem.
Enabled one by one and didn't figure it out what causes this problem (even with any of enabled addons problem appears, no mather what addon is enabled so it is hard to say that all addons make problems...)

About spec:
CPU: T8100
Graphic: Intel GMA965
RAM: 4GB DDR2 800MHz

Palemoon 32bit with default theme.

Addons:
1. AdGuard Adblocker (before this addon I used Adblock but problem appears with this addon also)
2. App Button Color
3. Easy Screen Shot
4. FlashGot
5. Google Translator for Firefox
6. Grease Monkey
7. Mozilla Archive Format

User scripts:
1. You Tube Center

Installed plugins:
1. Installed plugins (13.0.216) -- Problem occured even with older versions of flash. --
2. Silverlight Plug-In (5.1.20513) -- Disabled because I rarely used this on any site. --
3. Microsoft Office 2010 (NPSPWRAP.DLL and NPAUTHZ.DLL from Office 2010 Pro Plus) - Disabled. --

Any thought about this problem?
Thanks in advance and sorry for poor English.

It has nothing to do with the power of your graphics card. This is "lazy loading" initialization of one of your extensions (most likely your adblocker if it's based on later versions of adblock plus).

Thanks for clarification.
Well, I agree that addons make trouble to palemoon startup procedure but what can be done to make this thing "hidden"?
I know that it can be solved by not using addons but it is not acceptable.
Problem appeared even without Adblock, it can be reproduced with other addons also.
So, in the end if I understood well nothing can be done regarding this issue?

It's something the add-on programmer has to fix.

I used to have this problems, with FF though. In my case, it was caused by Adblock Plus.
I think you should check which add-on icon appear last. It will probably the main cause.
You should also try reset your toolbar layout to default, to make sure there is no error relating to it.
