    Got rid of Firefox

    I love Firefox, and all of it's addons.

    However... I can't stand watching it take up 99% of my system resources. I couldn't run outlook (Another system hog) and it at the same time.

    I changed back to Opera, and what do you know, I don't go over 20% resources running everything.

              No spyware, I have tons of programs for it. Firefox is just a pig on resources.

                          anthony is 100% correct.. FF has a huge issues with using system resources.

                              True it is a resource hog...but, all you need to do is upgrade your memory and you won't have any major problems.

                                  Not an issue here I'm never anywhere close to using my full memory.

                                      I run firefox with Outlook, trillian, eudora, etc all at the same time all day, every day, and my system is pretty shitty. Maybe there's some tweaking you need to do?

                                                                                              If you were seeing high CPU usage, it was very likely that you had either a corrupted plugin or a similar issue. I have never seen firefox go to 99% without a defective plug-in of some sort (adobe reader version tend to hang, but they do the same thing too in IE).

                                                                                              Enjoy Opera, I guess. FF isn't an issue here.

Never have any lock up or slow downs. Opteron 165 @ 2.7 might have something to do with that though

                                                                                                          Memory usage can sometimes creep up close to 200megs but with 2gigs it doesn't matter.

I click over to a new firefox window and everthing freezes up for about 15 seconds. Rediculous. No problems like that with IE7.
