What is the big problem with FIREFOX
It sucks up all of the memory in the world, insists on starting in safe mode every time, and it fucking sucks now. It use to be fast and solid.

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 enough |

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.

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.

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.

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. Duke

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. |

Funny you say that. I do use a mac. I have plenty of PC's too. I have 3 macs also. The mac book pro, a power mac with dual cores and a power mac with dual quads. I need to figure out final cut and give that a whirl, but vegas for video works just fine on a pc. Duke

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. |

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. |

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.

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.
