Shaun » Yeah, Firefox has gotten pretty bulky lately. I’ve heard that the next major release version is supposed to help alleviate some of the bloat. We’ll see how that goes.

Funny, I’m viewing this post in Konqueror right now after googling for solutions to my lag problem in Firefox under Ubuntu 7.10.

You know, Firefox in Ubuntu has almost none of those problems you’ve mentioned. I run it with Beryl/Compiz on my 1.7ghz processor with 512Mb of ram and hardly every lock it up.

Hey, no problem. I knew what you meant. :) And yeah, I had that plugin installed already. I’d just deactivated it awhile back while trying to sort out a server problem I was having. It’s active again now, though, and allows a 30-minute window for commenters to make edits. :)

That would be “work” with not “with with” Groan. (There’s a plug in that will let commenters edit…hint, hint) :)

Mine takes up a little more space than yours, but I typically only with with about 20 tabs at a time. Thankfully, I’ve experienced very few crashes or lags.

It’s a good program. It’s just becomes a bit of a monstrosity in recent versions. I’m kind of hoping it’ll start to get better again.

I recently upgraded to the newest release of FF. Ive also noticed the etensive resource hogging although i havent had any crashs as of yet. But i do have to frequently close FF and reopen it. And i cant have as many tabs running as i usually do. Especially on flash websites.
