It could give you small freezes or slow shut down if your harddrive is horrible. – session restore should not give you extra memory usage. – in the past Firebug shut down the fast javascipt engine of Firefox 3.5 I don’t know if that is still the case. If you want to use extensions with that one you have to use this configuration: You can try this by using a test version. The next Firefox 3.6 version will get separate flash so you can see the memory usage and it won’t freeze your Firefox. – huge memory usage is probably because of flash. A defective harddrive and file fragmentation could be other problems. – slow startup can be many things but I would start with portable apps to see if a fresh Firefox could solve it. – sometimes your profile interacts in a weird way which you can try by creating a new profile or by using portable apps which gives you a totally separate Firefox and profile. I don’t know how much time you are willing to spend on your problems but these ‘solutions’ popped in to my mind: I use a lot of extensions for all browsers so maybe this is the problem I have firebug, web developer, collorzilla, colored tabs, Meassure it and XMarks but even if I remove all of them the speed is not so much improved.Īlright that’s something valuable to read and react to. – I use Safari just for 1 special site which is rendered best on safari – with chrome it starts very fast it has good plugins some of them are great and they are not available on firefox which is lets say strange for me. – I really like firefox because it is free software and I hope that Firefox 4 will be something different but If I was the “owner” of firefox I definitely will rewrite it from scratch with lighter version of gecko engine without XUL and etc. – when I use it for… 3 days without shutting down which is normal it cannot stop and if I see the memory usage it is 500mb+ sometimes even 750mb+ sometimes when I try to close it it takes 50% of my CPU and it cannot stop the memory just goes up goes up … (maybe saving some sessions dont know) Anyway I dont like it for daily usage. – it starts REALLY SLOW on my XP machine dont know why. Just a little while longer.Haha sorry dude ok I dont want to say that firefox is something BAD or something like this I really like firefox and firefox is my primary browser for development because of firebug but it has a lot of problems. If they even gave Flash users extra time on the ESR channel for those who still need it, then why not users of legacy add-ons? I'm not asking for the old add-on system to stay indefinitely. And just those few extra releases would have given users a full year extra time to wait for the right APIs to pop up and for developers to make their add-ons compatible. By waiting until after 59 ESR, people who were unhappy with the state of extensions could seamlessly switch to the ESR channel when the breaking 60 release landed, since it would run the same code. Downgrading from 56 to 52 ESR is a pain due to multiple backwards-incompatible changes (you basically have to reset to get Firefox to work decently). You may guess once which add-ons we care the most about.ĥ2 ESR is imo not an acceptable alternative. The API in 57 is barely any more powerful than Chrome's API, so the large majority of ported add-ons are just the ones that already had a Chrome version and are not a differentiating factor for Firefox. I was using him as an example to argue that Mozilla has rushed this too much. I never said they should make exceptions.
