Do you have a computer that’s older than, say oh, I dunno, about 5 weeks old?
Are you noticing Firefox grinding your entire system to a crawl?
You might try what I did. And I don’t enjoy saying this because I love Firefox. No, I mean I really love firefox. I even have a daypack with a huge orange logo to prove it. Yes, I rolled back to version 2 because version 3 only seems to work with the newest of new boxes.
For instance, I can run it on my newest desktop just fine. Yes, the one I downgraded from Vista to XP; but that’s a whole other story I’ll tell some day. But my older desktop? My laptop? My phone? Nope. None of them will run ver 3 very well at all! And with my laptop it was the worst.
Bootup took forever whether I was trying to get into the browser right away or not.
The browser got an error almost every time I opened more than 3 or 4 tabs, and often times it would just hang. Completely. Taskbar and nuking it, was the only remedy sometimes. So after much other heartache and troubleshooting, I was able to determine most of my problems.
Firefox 3.0 will use up all of your RAM no matter how much you’ve got. There *might* be a setting you can calm this down from, but I never found it.
Til 3.9ish or 4.1ish I’m sticking with Firefox2, ok? There, I said it. Sorry to let you all know, but you might wanna look over your stuff too. Maybe you’d benefit a rollback as well.
