Finally I simply got fed up and installed Iron and it made me recall how quick and smooth a browser is suppose to operate. Don't get me wrong here. I would switch back to FF in a heartbeat, if it functioned nearly as good as Iron. I simply like the layout of FF the best.

That's strange, because I never experienced anything like this... and I have been using Firefox for a long time now. I am using the latest version, and did not had any problem with it. Yes, I had some occasional crashes, but they are very rare.

Might be that problem lies elsewhere, or with any add-on?

I do admit about the memory usage though... it gets quite high. But, I think Google Chrome, and SRWare Iron also suffer from the same defects... as does Safari(even its download size is large).

And you are right, the layout of Firefox, useful add-ons, usability etc. are the things which keep me loyal to Firefox. I have tried different browsers, but I stick to Firefox in the end.

This might be the exact link for SRWare Iron extensions:
http://www.chrome-plugins.info/en/

Taken from the forum link which EntitY posted. Although, there are some other useful links on the forum page... like the extensions are not made for Iron, but they do work with Iron. How to uninstall these extensions for Iron, is also given on the page. Thanks for the link

Yes, not every user has these FF problems, but enough users do to make it a major problem. I normally did not run any addons and if I did it was only AddBlock Plus. I used different firewalls and usually use XP-firewall and still had FF problems. I don't use a bunch of different software like some users do, because I like to run as lite as possible. You are right about memory usage but Iron is still faster than FF was for me. At one point I even reinstalled Windows, for other reasons than the FF problems, but the problems were still present afterward. I will try the newer release 3.6 when the final version comes out and maybe it will run like it should...

Anupam, I installed the recent version o FF, recent for me, and it is working good, to my surprise. The only other change was, I finally installed IE8, which I dunno if that would be any kind of fix. I am not an IT-Tech, or, PC-Geek in any form. I am only an experienced Cyber-Surfer, so had to learn about security and the best ways to get rid of Malware.
I got a single "Server not found" when I used AddBlock Plus, so I disabled it and it has not happened since. This is only my second day of this latest FF version, so am keeping my fingers crossed...

EntitY, I am glad you gave Firefox a try again, and good to hear it is working well for you

. I am sure it has nothing to do with IE8. Maybe, it was because of the add-on... something wrong with its settings. That's where the problem lies. I had found it strange, when you had first posted about Firefox problem... that other browsers were able to open pages, and not Firefox. There had to be something wrong.

I am now glad its working, and I hope it keeps on that way

I decided I would give SRWare Iron 10.0.650.0 a spin on my Ubuntu 10.10 machine. I almost suffered whiplash it was so fast. After using FF for so long I grew accustomed to its speed (lets call it slow) and never realized how fast a browser could be. Now I will try customize it to my liking.

Yeah, the WebKit engine feels like it's on steroids to me compared to the Gecko Engine.

What version of Firefox were you using?

wdhpr · 25. Apr 2011, 12:42 AM

I use FF 3.6.16 Linux version which is blazing fast Compared to FF from Windows. When I start FF (also 3.6) from windows for this first time after boot-up it is agonizingly slow. (And yes I have allot of addons) I just figure it's worth the wait to have my goodies.

Anyway I have add-block and a couple other add-ons installed on iron and it hasn't slowed a bit. I plan on using it a few days before I decide which one I want as my default browser.

The thing about FF it's like an old comfortable shoe may not be fast but it feels good.

Cheers
