Firefox woes...
Apr. 18th, 2009 08:57 pmIE7 is like a Ford Escort. Very standard, very boring, and mostly reliable.
Firefox... ah, Firefox.
It's like having a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. Exquisite workmanship. Beautiful to look at, a joy to drive, every feature you could possibly want. And gets 6 miles to the gallon, won't drive over 45 mph, inexplicably stops every block, and takes 45 seconds to restart.
I've tried every resource-management tweak I can find out there - caching, pipelining, shutting down automatic updates, you name it. It still starts up with painful sluggishness, uses huge amounts of system resources, slows down to a crawl and crashes inexplicably.
I love this browser, but I'm always frustrated with its shortcomings. There seems to be no help for the widow's son...
