Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)

Yeah I had a bunch of those same problems with me 3.5.6 looking forward to them fixing some of these problems. And yeah it really does take a long time to load up. But I'd miss all those wonderful add-ons if I went with another browser.

Have you guys tried running FF with a clean profile? I hardly experience any of these memory issues and slow downs.

Are you keeping too many tabs open? Is your unclose-tab history set to too high?

Must admit 3.6 loads up a lot faster and I can type something into the url bar almost immediately without issue. So far, so good.
Still prefer Opera now I'm used to it. Plus it got a 0 for tests incomplete on the acid3 test and did it 0.54s

Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)

3.6 works fine for me so far only thing is that 2 of my favorite plug-ins are not updated and are disabled

Sage-Too and Auto-Copy

Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)

Been using 3.6 since yesterday and am liking it. I like how the new tabs open up right beside the page you just clicked from. And yeah it is quicker to load than 3.5.6 that I was using before. They already came up with updates to some of the add-ons I use.

I also notice my fan isn't kicking on as much. But that could also be due to all the HD space I rectified.

I didn't know it's a new feature? I've always used Tab Mix Plus which enables that and more, might want to give that a try.

Fresh Firefox install about the end of November when formatted my machine, only use 3 add ons. Seemed fine then it just crashed randomly but it always used to restore the tabs. Stopped restoring the tabs properly over the last week so i have fucked it off for Opera now which i must add, is seeming a lot better browser at the moment.

Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)

I've so far only had FF 3.6 crash on me once since installing the beta version. Just waiting for the full 3.6 to come out.

Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)

Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)

still using 3.5.7 ... I use firefox for everything except streaming... in which case it lags terribly. I use safari for streaming video instead.

Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)

REALLY can't wait until the real release of 3.6 for FF, as they MIGHT fix the problem I have been having almost anytime I wanna download something using download helper, or choosing to upload a photo on a site, the damn thing crashes on me. This is the last time I download a beta version.

As for memory hogs. I've found they all seem to be the same these days. I've always got multiple tabs opened and when you get to around 3 of them open, the program is already up to 250K. I just want something that WORKS.

Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)
