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?

Do a search for firefox tweaks in google and here at SF. there are tons of things to speed up FF. Some are about config: Most work best on 3.5.2

Good Luck and let me know if you need help

Total removal. If i have to tweek it hell out of it.. its CRAP>
 
Tried Chrome also... slightly better, still crap.

Opera suks also, works good, really fast but I'm tired of the DAMN EMAIL popup never works.

All crap for you,you don't like anything?

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.

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?
