Firefox..

GINTER said:

Anyone notice that Firefox runs, well, how can I say this, "weird" on Win7? Sort-of, slow, dunno how to describe it. Actions delayed. Not as snappy as on Vista, for example.

Thoughts?

If anything, it's better on Win7. (I use Firefox 3.5.2.) However, it continues to suffer from Flash video stuttering, which occurs every 10 sec or so (audio is unaffected), and occasional pauses when using the mouse wheel to scroll through a web page. These are widely reported problems that have been ongoing since at least Firefox 3.0, the first version good enough to make me leave IE.

Well if i were you, i-would check out Safari 4 for Windows. Its pretty awsome. Just a small bug with it but it runs fine :) Bug--> Like when u hit IE8 icon its make the ie8 in a little [IE*] thing(new tab then its [IE8]] ) safari makes a new icon for some reason its doesnt [SAFARI] it does safari (other icons on taskbar) [ SAFARI] / [SAFARI]]

Well if anything it loads a lot faster compared to when I had it on XP, what addons you got?

YEAH - what's with the video stuttering? I thought that was only when I had too many tabs open. Oh no, forgot, then video totally stops. FF blows.

As long as it has AWESOME tab support, session restore support, and bug-free video play, I'll try it. Doing some Chrome experimentation right now.

Zigzag, you seem to be an expert on FF and other browsers. I'd love to see come comparisons on features, memory utilization, speed, etc., of all the popular browsers. Got links?
