Anyone have this problem with Firefox?

[bystander]

In the last couple days, I've noticed that when Windows 7 goes into lower power mode after some times of inactivity, my 680's go into full power mode. I did some experimenting, and it seems to only happen with Firefox is open. To get the clocks to go back to idle state after resuming Windows 7, I have to close Firefox for a few seconds, then reopen it.

I've noticed the clocks on my G13's LCD, which keeps the active clocks displayed at all times. Has anyone else noticed this behavior with Firefox? I assume it's a bug with the newest version and yet another reason I hate this rapid paced upgrading they are pushing on us.

I'm not aware of such a problem, although until recently, AMD Crossfire setups could have some sort of stability issue with FF, so it's possible that FF is the cause.

Do you know if any particular FF versions are immune to this issue? The upgrade cycle is fast, but I'd think that unless you want to do otherwise, it'd be fine to not have the very most up to date version. I'm often lazy about updating my browsers and I've never noticed issues caused by it except for not always having the very newest experimental features.

I haven't tried to go to older versions, as FF has been auto updating without even warning me. I assume it is FF causing this, as it goes back to normal as soon as I close it after resuming from idle mode.

Crossfire's problem with FF was supposedly fixed with a driver update, so maybe a driver update with fix Nvidia's issue with it.

My browsers (including FF) don't auto-update. I configure them to not do so. Maybe you could give that a try if you don't want to use a different browser, but I don't know if using older versions will solve the issue.

It seems it could have been a particular web site, meaning flash or html5, was causing the issue. I closed one tab, and my clocks reverted. Now to find out what hardware acceleration is responsible for this.

I don't know why but I think that's the magic word. :lol:

I did find that flash had it enabled. I could have sworn I had it off, but then again, flash updates a lot as well.
