Yeah, BTW, FF suck hard now. I open it on occasion to see if they fixed the insane memory bug, but alas, it reaches nearly 4GB of Ram. FF1+2 + Sweet!! FF3+ = Superfuckingshittyexperience. Opera all the way bitches.


I thought I had it bad.. FF here will eat a bit over 1 GB if I let it sit for a few days.

by the time it gets there it is so sluggish its time to dump and start fresh... right now it is eating around 800mb... I figure I have another day or so before its time to dump.

I like Firebug and the general experience (sans memory leak) to give up FF just yet...

The topic made me laugh out loud though.. seems like they are slapping larger numbers on similar products doesnt it?

DownThemAll has never stopped working for me.

On versions it is not sympatico with it comes up as incompatible. This happened to me on Thunderbird so I reinstalled T3.

I just checked and DTA has caught up to FF8 as of Oct 10. What do you think of the new version(s)?

I have stayed on v3 after a bad experience running 4 beta and 3 in parallel.

That. It's lighter, faster and even looks better.

With all the hoopla about 64bit hosts/plugins, I only run 64 bit browsers now. With Waterfox, the memory leaks sound bigger and better. Very Happy

I switched from FF to Chrome but then chrome has its bugs too like windows behind the browser starting to appear on top of it aswell as a few other things, it had massive memory usage and i didnt like all the processes it runs too... so i switched back to FF7 (now FF8) and it has been great, I dont get memory problems with it.. Opera is good but lacks extra functionality in form of add-ons as they hardly have any and are limited to what they can do (more limited than chromes add-on capabilitys) - FF tops them all for extra functionality.

when it comes to benchmarks Chrome always comes out on top but in practice I dont think its noticeable

Rather than making a new thread, I thought I'd just update this one and ask here.

FF 9 running fairly groovy here BUT......I HATE the bottom left corner popping up the display if I hover over a web link (annoying)

Anyone know how to get rid of it?

Found it (kinda)

Status 4 Evar. But now the blank line is down there.

Would love for the white strip to go away AND not have that url status displayed.

Ah, found that quickly.

"show close button" then just close it.

Nice!

I hear that the release numbers are going to be in hex soon.

I wish I could be arsed to read v11's release notes. Will installing it do anything except break addon compatibility? Mebbe I'll wait a few days and let the other guys beta test!

Wait a second... too much porn can tax your resources?

I thought that was a myth!
