Oh, and did I mention all the plugins and possibilities to customize your browser? Oh, and not to forget, it's FAST! Oh, and while I'm at it, memoryconsumption is low, even with MANY tabs open ;-)<br /><br />Give it a try!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15939549344732988950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824660313967021040.post-62932677032034044742009-11-19T13:35:46.931-08:002009-11-19T13:35:46.931-08:00A quick follow-up.

I installed the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11922" rel="nofollow">AFOM 2.0 add-on</a> and noticed an immediate ,and positive, effect on memory.

But that was with 15+ tabs open ;) The difference this time is FF did not turn sluggish or freeze up like it usually does. <br /><br />I tried the same with Chrome and it actually had higher memory usage for the same number of windows. Though a different allocation of memory/virtual memory. Of course it was still faster than FF. But again, so far Firefox is behaving better than it has in months (fingers crossed).<br /><br />RE: Plugins, yes that automatic scan seems to adds a whole bunch of stuff you may not necessarily want :/<br /><br />I am almost wondering if the problem was due to the poor implementation of the history/autosuggest feature? I was definitely a source of freeze-ups before I reinstalled. Now with little to no history, everything is working smoothly .. hmmm.<br /><br />-LeighcfSearchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564374520734454860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824660313967021040.post-91616369651647050952009-11-18T19:31:02.782-08:002009-11-18T19:31:02.782-08:00as i said on twitter , i've seen FF 3.5.5 hit ...as i said on twitter , i've seen FF 3.5.5 hit >1gb. it was at 50% CPU & >500mb just now (and had to be killed off via the task manager). i was blaming that on the flash client beta but if you're seeing the same thing w/the release version i guess it might be FF after all :-(<br /><br />i was looking at the plugins & noticed that .NET thing got back in somehow (i'm pretty sure i had disabled it before). i've ripped it out completely & will try FF one last time before i scurry away to chrome.Paul Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919140074049990616noreply@blogger.com
