Blogger Comments Not Working? Fix Here

Hi, My Blogger Comments were not working lately. I have a rather old blogger blog from around 2009, and in 2011, May the comments stopped to work. I found many complaining in the forums about blogger blog comments not working.

The symptom is that the sentence "post a comment" appears, but there is no link to allow you to open the comment box. I don't know about the solution, but here is the workaround:

Go to blogger.com,

to Dashboard/Design,

then to Settings,

then Comments,

and use one of the two:

Pop-up window

or

Full page

Do NOT use Embedded below post type comment! Comment below if that helped you (and to prove that now the comments are working)!

Firefox Memory Problem Solved? Or, Rather, Workaround For Firefox 4, Others!

So I was telling you about the problems I had with ever increasing memory consumption in my Firefox 4.

I thought Memory Fox was going to solve the problem and I installed it. However, the problem is still there. With Memory Fox, the memory gets apparently reduced, however the responsiveness of the system is still not great after a while.

So I kept on searching, and found a better solution, here at Browser.sessionhistory.max total viewers.

It turns out that Firefox will by default automatically adjust the number of history pages PER TAB. The adjustment is such that for most of the modern computers, you will store 8 history pages PER TAB. This is clearly not appropriate for people like me who like to have upwards of 20 tabs up in Firefox.

The solution/workaround is:

Type about:config in your Firefox address bar.

Scroll down until you find the variable Browser.sessionhistory.max total viewers. You will probably find the value of (-1), which is automatic adjustment to up to 8.

Right click on the value and modify to 0 or 1.

This will be the number of history pages per firefox tab that you will store. I have used 1 for a couple of days now and Firefox worked much better than with Memory Fox, yet, the memory consumption is still outrageous after a couple days.

You can play around with this number, and let me know your situation, and how the fix worked for you.


Just leave a comment below.

Mozilla Firefox 4 Memory Use Leak Fix

I like to have upwards of 20 tabs open in Mozilla Firefox. Lately I've upgraded to Firefox 4 and, after some initial adjustments, things were going swell.

But then, suddenly, Firefox started hogging more and more memory, to the extent that my laptop became unusable due to no memory.

[UPDATE: While the workaround below might still work for you, I found a better solution here: Firefox Memory Problem Solved?]

The mozilla.com site is not very helpful when you search for the solution to the problem. Instead of providing suggestions or collections of solutions that people have used (given the imperfect descriptions of the problem that people invariably come up with), they bicker back and forth with the Mozilla Firefox users.

So I had to look further for the solution. Enter

Mozilla Firefox 4 Memory Use Leak Fix

Finally, I found a possible solution to the growing Firefox Memory at this site:

http://www.browsermemory.com/

Here, a Firefox Add-On is offered, called MemoryFox, and I tried it out! The guy was able to do more in terms of analyzing Firefox memory usage than the entire team at mozilla.com, seems like.

My result after install of the MemoryFox plugin? From 700 MByte of memory, shown in Windows Task Manager, Firefox memory use goes down to 134 MByte? Sounds good.

Well, the jury is still out and the plug in does show fluctuations in memory. But, with the same tabs open, at least the machine is not freezing up.

So far, thumbs up for the MemoryFox.

Let me know your experience in the comments below. Follow this blog for updates. I will post after a week or so after the dust has settled. So far, it looks promising.
