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 quit firefox around a year ago after it decided to stop working....Now it works, fuck em.
|
you should get a decent box man, stop using 10 yo computers
|
Opera rocks :thumbsup
|
When I updated to the latest version it get so slow, so I switch to chrome now.
|
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.
|
Yeah
Fucking IE runs so horribly slow, it's not usable, I'm using Chrome for now till I get time to piss with FF |
I downgraded to FF 3.0,14. That version works just fine. 3.5 kept crashing.
|
Stop being a pussy bitch, I ran FF since it's first release on a WinXP system with only 512mb of RAM with no problems what so ever...
|
its definitely a memory hog!

How do you go back to the 3.0 without losing any bookmarks/password/etc?
|
Its your 20+ add ons that makes it slow as shit i used to run a ton of plugins also now i only run around 5 or so and firefox is a alot quicker.

I would be happy camper if their sorted the memory leaks...minus that i like it (paired with the plug-ins I use).

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. |

I gotta check out Chrome some time soon. FF is annoying me lately.

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 |
Firefox sucks up too much memory, eh. That sucks.

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. |
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 POS |
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 sware by FF and its only using 160k. I dont see how all of you have all these problems.
|
When I scroll up too fast the browser closes itself...

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.
