When you visit GOG on your android and wish to log out, you need to keep your finger pressed over the 'My Account' section for a few seconds. You should then see the drop down list appear. There is no real science behind this, just a little patience.

As for FireFox 23, roll back. I am using 21 right now and I always remain one version behind the current. I always look at Firefox current as being the Beta, and the version before as the Gold version.


Edited a for clarity.

There are decent Firefox forks (at least on Windows) that try hard to stay true to what Firefox represented before Mozilla decided to make it another Chrome clone. So, there are alternatives for those who don't want to make Chrome their default browser.

Firefox sucked! Don't get me wrong, the plane looked cool and the whole premise was interesting, but the flying stuff looked beyond terrible. Add to that lots of drawn out shots of people looking nervous and or tense and I'm afraid I have to give it a thumbs down. Clint has made some great movies, this wasn't one of them.

I'm surprised more people don't care about this. If people really want a Chrome experience they should use Iron.

I use Cyberfox and memory usage sits around 200mb. Much better than the outrageous numbers Firefox has ;)

The privacy issues of Chrome can, apparently, be avoided by using an alternative Chromium-based browser such as SRWare Iron or Comodo Dragon. I'm hardly an expert though, so please do correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: Ninja'd by Dzsono. Nothing to see here, folks.

Yes, with both of those and probably with every other Chrome fork.

I liked Pale Moon, but it's Windows only and I'm looking to go a more non-Windows way in the future sometime before Win 7 gets discontinued.

Although, technically sooner as that license is only for my laptop.

Firefox user here. I tried to like Chrome, but there are so many issues I have with it. I use IE occasionally, but mostly use Firefox 23. No problems purchasing games with FF23, so look at removing your addons and possibly reloading FF if you are still having problems.
Most of FF memory hogging, I have read, is due to Adware Plus. I never felt like confirming that, as I have never had a problem with slowdowns while using it (12GB RAM on my laptop).

The main thing I use IE for, is when I go to different hotels and airports, most of the sign on pages need IE. FF and Chrome usually won't even bring up the log on page.

A 32-bit program that requires 200MB of memory will use 400MB due to how memory is addressed. A 64-bit program that requires 200MB memory will use 200MB since it handles memory address as it should. Even if the 64-bit requires 250 instead of 200 that is still less than a 32-bit browser will use.
It is possible that non-windows OS address memory differently, in which case a 64-bit program may indeed use more memory than a 32-bit one, but I haven't had the chance to check that yet.

[edit]ET3D corrected me, the above statement is incorrect. Not sure if it's outdated or if I had interpreted wrong to be begin with. Feel free to ignore it (and mock me).[/edit]

Give me a couple of hours to get on a PC and I will give you a screenshot of memory usage for GOG's start page.

This doesn't work for me. When I keep pressing my finger on 'My Account', a system menu pops up instead.

And when my problems started, I was using FF 21 - then I upgraded to FF 23 to see if the problem still existed with this version - regrettably it does.
I did all that - but to no avail.

Regarding the original problem, I had Firefox go bad on me, and in fact I just had problems with several sites and got the answer that my user agent was screwed up. What I did was follow the instructions here and since that left some problems I reinstalled FF 23 (without uninstalling first). Things work fine now.
That's why I use Firefox. Low memory usage and extensions that allow managing lots of tabs easily (I use Tab Mix Plus and TabGroups Manager).
Whatcha talkin bout Willis? Where did you hear this nonsense?

As I recall, 64-bit OS uses a different pointer size than a 32-bit one, and I don't think the pointer can be split. Give me 5 minutes to test it and let me report back.

A 64-bit OS will use 64-bit pointers, but all 32-bit programs running on it will use 32-bit pointers, exactly the same as they use on a 32-bit OS. The difference in running on a 64-bit OS is that the TLB maps these pointers to 64-bit addresses (or 48-bit or whatever the processor supports).

Quick check (with IE10 and OriginLab) does show that my statement was indeed incorrect, so I'm moving to replace it. I know I had done another quick check a couple of years ago and IE9-64bit was using half the memory of IE9-32bit, but no idea if I recall it wrong or if something changed since then.
Thank you again for correcting me, editing my previous posts to correct them :)

I just got this email from GoG support

"It is possible that you are trying to log in into incorrect address. Due to some changes in our network infrastructure, addresses under h t t p s :/ / w w w .gog . c o m/ will no longer work, and you should use h t t p s :/ / secure. gog. c o m/ or just h t t p : / / w w w .gog. c o m/ . If you're using any plugins that use GOG-related addresses automatically (like some password plugins), please update these addresses in their settings."

Using 'h t t p s :/ / s e c u r e.gog. c o m' did the trick.

So it was no problem with FF at all. ;-)


P. S.: I had to insert blanks because otherwise the system wouldn't let me post this message.
