I am trying to decide what made me want to switch to Firefox. The web browser stutters so bad, I can get to be a good paragraph a head of the text boxes here and on some other sites before the text even starts to display.
Everything seems to have a serious delay of a second or two or three when clicking or scrolling...
Just ranting right now... today I'm going to see if I can come up with a good solution.
I think your computer is broken... I don't have that problem.
How much RAM do you have? FF and Chrome both suffer from to much RAM requirements.Turns out it is like an MS product... Gotta restart it every now and again. I checked the ram usage, and for 6 tabs over 2 windows, it was chewing up almost 2GB of ram. Shut it down and checked it again... same 6 tabs, only 500 megs of ram... much better.
Memory leaks?
Every web browser I've tried eats ram like crazy. Try to tone down those auto-play video advertisements and the plugin takes even more memory. It's just terrible anymore.
Yeah I tried to explain this to my users the other day and they refused to believe that every browser out there has issues like this. It's tough to put it in a way they can understand
Eh... The memory issues, I understand -- even the memory leaks, I could understand -- especially when somebody has 10 or 20 tabs open. But you would think they would come up with a way to suspend tabs that haven't been active in X number of minutes and free the memory.
What's weird - Steve Gibson claims that he has 500 tabs open in FF on a normal basis.
How do you even know what they are?
He's said that a plugin enables having tabs displayed vertically on the left or right side of the screen in addition to the top. Even still, that's gotta be tough to keep track of. I wonder how many of those are duplicates?

I get the feeling that not many are - OK so you listen to SN too. I love the side tabs thing. It's the first thing I install when I have to reinstall FF - followed by Lastpass and uBlock Origin.

Oh wow. That just seems like a pain, like the opposite of productive because you probably have to click on the tab to find out what it is.

I've never used that plugin. I'll have to install it. I stopped using FF extensions a while ago because it seemed to ramp up the resources.

All I've got is Firefox + AdBlock

yeah, some are pretty bad. I used to use one, forgot the name, but had to dump it because it caused memory to spike out of control.
Here it is.. check for Change. This is a handy addon that enables FF to notify you when a page is updated.
Tree Style Tabs is always difficult for me to find. I have to google it, I can't seem to ever find it in the extensions list in FF.

I used to use the one that shows your downloads at the bottom like chrome. And some others. But I use Chrome most of the time now so I haven't really looked into FF addons.
Thanks, I'll add those to mine.

So we just got our new AT&T (yuck) 300/300 fiber circuit installed... and the dumbass tech wrote out the wireless password incorrectly for me. He very distinctly put upper and lower case letters (all were actually lower case), plus his 'q' looked like a 'g', the 'S' looked like a '5', etc. Had to go remove the modem from the wall to get the correct info from it. All sorted now, but jeez...

It actually renames your files to store data right in the filename itself. That makes me shudder.
