When I updated to the latest version it get so slow, so I switch to chrome now.Comment

I updated to the latest version, the new engine, it got FAST
Now it sucks.
Oh well.
The box ain't ten years old.. it is old.. but it's dual xeon.. been down to one proc for a few days, got a good friend looking for either a replacement for me or a better board with newer procs
This thing is pretty old - worst part is 533 bus .. but with two 2.4 HT xeons it's good enough.. Getting an 800mhz board and 3.4 xeons with twice the cache will make a big difference
Also my scsi drives aren't big enoughComment

I find firefox slows down after a few updates. I do clean installs for the major updates (like 3 to 3.5) and it keeps working fine for me.Comment

Thanks for the advice... I just did this, exported my bookmarks, grabbed the plugin Password Exporter and exported, then imported my User-Passwords, put my other plugins and bookmarks back..
And honestly, it's like 100% faster. Thanks again.
Edit: my Firefox was the same version as the one I downloaded... but the FF icon and the browser toolbars are thinner now. So for sure deleting ff and reinstalling it, makes a huge difference.Last edited by TheDoc; 10-18-2009, 09:22 AM.

Working very slow for me, using around 500 mb of memory, i'm running 20 + addons and sometimes the entire os freezes for few seconds, i also have 2000 + bookmarks. If it were not for the addons i will be using Googe Chrome 4.0, runs so much faster.Comment

Yeah
Fucking IE runs so horribly slow, it's not usable,
I'm using Chrome for now till I get time to piss with FFComment

I downgraded to FF 3.0,14. That version works just fine. 3.5 kept crashing.ICQ: 16544251 - Skype: gator37 @ eastlink.ca - email: yngwie @ isys.caComment

Firefox users are like mac users. Crap breaks all the time but no one admits it.
firefox sucks, and it is not immune to being hijacked like everyone thinks. It's almost as vulnerable as ie. I think firefox is used by 50% of people. Therefore, by it's sheer popularity it is in the crosshairs of hackers. If mac had more users it would be just as exploitable too. By why write a virus for something that is 5-7% of the market.
People talk about their favorite OS's, & browsers like they talk about their favorite teams-with extreme bias.

I use FF exclusively and up until last week ran it on 512MB of RAM without a single issue, nothing broke, nothing went wrong, sure after a week of constant use I had to close it down and reopen it because of the memory issue, but that's been highlighted...
I swear by Macs, but unfortunately my main machine is running Windows XP SP 2.
People talk trash about Mac OSX like it's their favorite teams rivals with extreme bias, but have yet to use the damn operating system for longer than a few minutes tinkering with it.
There are many people on this board who were extreme users of Windows based machines and have happily switched to OSX and haven't looked back.. Why? They are open to trying something else.
Most Windows users are happy with the crashing and having to restart, so they are close minded about actually giving OSX a proper trial before jumping to conclusions.Last edited by Guest; 10-18-2009, 02:28 PM.Comment

Final cut is very easy to learn, its even easier to learn than vegas, and its a lot better and more user friendly. I don't have a working mac at home, but I have access to Mac's at school and the studio I sometimes work at. They're so much nicer to use than PCs. I also work part time in IT for my school, and I hope to get a couple free G4s this winter. They threw away a bunch of perfect macs last year, they still had the programs on them and everything! My friend said he found them in the dumpster. Ever since I heard about that; I am constantly keeping tabs on what gets thrown away, you never know when you might find something good.

Firefox does not crash as much as IE and its way more secure. Also firefox uses up a lot of memory only when its been running for hours on end, with multiple tabs. And even if firefox does crash, it restores your tabs for you.
I've been using firefox for years and I swear by it. I will say though, I upgraded to 3.5 and I do not like it as much as 3. When I had 3.0, I had it set where I could delete my cookies automatically after it closes, I can't find that option on 3.5. If I want to, I have to click "start private browsing" now.Last edited by bad2rich; 10-18-2009, 04:26 PM.Comment

If you find that Firefox is a memory hog, chances are you have an extension that isn't playing nicely with it, or your profile has become corrupted... or a combination of the two.
A fresh install will work wonders and then begin adding extensions one at a time to make sure you can monitor their performance.
If you have to, use xmarks or simply copy your bookmarks.html files to ensure you keep information you need from one installation to the next. Fresh installs take very little time and upgrading from 2 to 3 to 3.5 and then complaining about the speed is silly. That's like going from win98 to winxp to windows 7 and wondering why it's having issues.Comment

grab a copy of 3.0.* while you can and set it not to update itself
it will install over the latest version and you won't lose anything
I backdated all mine 3.5 is a POSComment

I refuse to use Chrome but I cannot stand FF using 1GB of memory. Even on a fast machine it causes problems. I guess I will give opera a try but I am sort of addicted to my plugins.бабки, шлюхи, силаComment

I use to be a big FF fan, but after the last update it has been slow. Now I use Chrome all the time. I use FF only to use a few of the extensions for developers.
