Firefox 57 noscript11/14/2023 ![]() As a session grows, Seamonkey gets slower, and Opera starts hitting the disk for every tab switch (I’ve had downloads die from timeout in Opera just due to trying to change tabs, and it taking too long–WTH!?).įF likes RAM, but it handles not having too much better than others, both in Windows and Linux. On said notebook, Chrome is the only browser competitive in speed with FF (I don’t like Chrome’s UI, but they have the technical stuff done very well). I regularly keep sessions with hundreds of tabs and several windows open. When shutting down, it does indeed use more RAM, and takes anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute, beating up my poor HDD as it does so. Just ABP and Noscript for add-ons, ATM (I like some others, but it’s rock stable w/ those two, so I leave the rest for beefier machines). I run FF on my Win2k notebook for weeks at a time. Main point to take: your problems are not normal and are certainly not by design If you can’t solve them you should really file a bug because the Firefox devs really want to know about it. 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. ![]() ![]() 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.
