Firefox..

[pparks1]

I haven't really noticed many problems with the firefox browser on Windows 7...and it's pretty much the only browser that I use. I've tried Chrome a few times...but the lack of add-on support is a killer for me. I just rely too much on my firefox add-ons to use other browsers.

3.5.2 ran so slow, allowed popups, crashed pages, ect so much I dropped it and transferred its bookmarks to my IE8, Chrome 3 beta, safari 4 and opera 10 beta installs. All run much better.

Wow, Firefox 3.5.2 is the best browser I've ever used, and I was a diehard IE user all the way to IE8! FWIW, I've observed none of the problems you mentioned. The addons I use are Adblock Plus, Download Helper, Google Toolbar, NoScript, and Xmarks.

3.5.2 very fast and no hiccups here.

 

[dhar890723]

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.

I wish I knew. It's the one thing I still use IE8 for. I've never seen video "stop" in Firefox.

WOW, I haven't seen any of that behavior.

The add-ons I use are
Ad-Block Plus
Capture Fox
Chatzilla
FireBug
HTTPFox
Stylish
VMWare Remote Console Plug-in.

[jmacie]

I've just changed (Happily) to FF. I've been slowed alot, thought it was all those addons, after reading this post I googled an answer, an found this:
Speed up Firefox with these tweaks , maybe it'll help, or give you some ideas, I'm just trying it out, will post back about success/failure.

No issues with FF 3.5.2

I have been a happy FF user for about 4 years now and haven't noticed any of the issues in the previous posts. I tend to be a little bit conservative with my addons using only:

Bugmenot
betterprivacy
addblock plus
IE tab

if you experience pop-ups or an annoying pop-up blocker notification then your FF is not optimized as well as it can be. I experience NO, repeat NO, annoying popups and rarely a notification of blocked pop-ups. Recommend Highly the addblock plus....it works well.

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)

Well, I'll be. This workaround that was just published on 8/22 seems to work:

Glad you got it sorted out!

 

[Konceptz804]

This is great! Not only fixed my stuttering video, but also the only other problem I was having with Firefox. When opening a page with large amounts of selection capability, it would die. Better to give an example. This page would choke firefox:

Thanks for posting this!

I agree, suks big time, slow, not really its dead, drags,
times out.
Total removal. If i have to tweek it hell out of it.. its CRAP>

My guess ... You either don't know how to configure your OS or your using outdated hardware. (or potential virus/spyware issues)

Never had an issue with FF 3.0, 3.5 or any of the beta's inbetween...On Either Vista or Win7 (or any of it's Beta's) It's always opened up quickly and never has had an issues with page load times or downloads.

Could you goto c:\windows\minidump and find the dmp file (*.dmp) zip it and upload it to us so we can look at it

Thanks

I don't have a windows\minidump folder as I assume the errors aren't giving any BSOD's
