Mozilla Firefox is not living up to expectation?

Mozilla is good for net browsing. But Firefox Setup 3.0.3 is far batter then Firefox Setup 3.5.1 . I have noticed that latest version is slower and some problems like broken link appears. Opera is another good browsing software. Another browsing software is Safari304BetaSetup.

Heilo my friend zandi458 JI, We all have something or the other problems. Right after myLot was up-graded and armed with many facilities, I felt that opening of various windows takes too much time and similarly , other members too observed. At present there are more that 400 alert messages in my mail box, which I have to respond. Why it is slow. I am not able to come to route cause. May be, I may require yet better speed in my BB connection. I have BB with 256 kbps. What you think, is it sufficient. Please do take my personnel greetings for 25th Feb. May God bless YOu and have a great time.

sorry cant answer that I use IE tryied foxfire some time ago and didnt like it came bacl to IE.

I'm still using Firefox, but since you said Opera might be good, so I think I want to use it. I have heard lots of positive feed-backs about Opera, that the browser is fast and hassle-free so yeah. Pretty cool, really.

The new 3.6 version drove me nutso! I had nothing but problems with it, so I got it off my computer and went back to the 3.5 (latest but can't remember the point after 5) version and it is back to normal. They made the 3.6 to work better with new windows 7 I had heard, but mine is an xp so maybe that is why I had trouble with it. I have used opera but don't find it faster than fox for me? I like it ok, but have always gone back to fox. more add ons to use, etc for me anyway. good luck with it all!

Hi, zandi458. I am having problems with not responding and page freezes too. But I never really thought that it was my browser that was causing this problem. I thought that it was this laptop system that was causing these constant errors. I have not tried using Opera because I have never heard of this browser before. If Firefox continues to give me problems then I will have no choice but to go along with Opera. I am tired of logging off and then having to log right back on because of my page freezing up.

hi zandi I have firefox but have not had it freezing on me, I think its a tad slower than my old IE but I like it better than IE also you can sometimes go into tools and options and clean out the history cache and the cookies and firefox will run better. also I find that when my AVG9 is running it slows firefox down something fierce so I set it to run when I am at dinner.so am pretty happy with firefox right now. cleaning cookies and the history cache usually will speed up firefox.

since i rejected using microsoft internet explorer and switching to mozilla firefox, i have got no problems with the browser. maybe i had them before with other computers i have used but not with my office desktop and my personal laptop. i even have the latest version, 3.6 and still giving me the best. i have a preview of the Opera browser. but since i have no problem with mozilla so far, i am going to stick with this one.

I've been having problems with firefox lately. It's been freezing, or just plain slow. It's quite annoying. I don't know if I need to update it or if there is another problem. One thing that annoys me the most is that it used to remember what sites were open if firefox suddenly crashed. Mine no longer does that. It drives me crazy.

It s all about what site creators/owners and how much effort they put into making everything work with all browsers out there.. firefox, chrome, Ie, opera whatever... i find it kinda snoby to call one better then the other since all do pretty much the same... it s a matter of taste and it should stay this way. There are differences but let s be real it s not "miles away"... (performance). there is nothing wrong with your browser just a bad time for it :) give it some time or change it :P

I did have this problem about a year ago with Firefox after using it trouble free for quite a while. I then changed to Flock, which is another Mozilla browser and it was good for a while, but then I started having freezing problems again. Then my computer crashed and I lost Windows. Instead of installing a new blank version of Windows again as my operating system, I decided to go down the freeware route so I installed Kubuntu as my operating system. This has it's challenges to learn, as it is nothing like Windows. You have to install what you want yourself as it does not come loaded with lots of generic applications that you will never use like Windows does. This is good for my computer though as it is much quicker than it ever was on Windows and I never have freezing issues with Firefox anymore. In six months it has not frozen on me once, but beforehand it was a daily occurrence.

I guess I am way behind and never heard of opera. I used to use firfox but like you I had to quit it. It wouldn't let me have my graphics for some reason. I do have worries with Internet Explorer stopping in the midst of a page and that makes me mad. But I am now on a new computer and I did have one page freeze up on me earlier. I'll give opera a chance and see how it operates. thanks for the infor. quita88

Since version 3 Firefox doesn't release correctly its memory. The team made a lot of fixes, and it's better now. I prefer it to Opera for its add-ons that I'm using daily. My Linux netbook has only 1 Mb of RAM, and Firefox was crashing too often : I replaced it last year by SeaMonkey : it's an internet suite build on the same Gecko sources than Firefox for the browser, but it's a lighter version, with less features. I am able to use the same add-ons, and it doesn't crash. Opera is a very fast browser, but I can't customize it like Firefox/SeaMonkey : there's no accounting for taste ! Have a good day.

Think of it this way: Firefox = browser packed with loads of features and add-ons, community-powered IE = simple thing with which you surf the internet Opera = a browser with good feedback and a small community In some way, Firefox doesn't need much development. There are lots of add-ons and hundreds of them are created every month. So Firefox is full customisable and is more suitable for the "geeks". I don't understand why you can't use Firefox properly. I don't encounter problems with it (sometimes I do, but those are trivial). But computers are like that - you wait for a month and then everything works fine again. I haven't used Opera, but I'm sure it's quicker than Firefox. Actually, the start-up time of Firefox is one of the major disadvantages of it but once you have fired it up, everything works lightning fast!

I have never felt the opera browser, and I still using old Mozilla Firefox version and it's work fine which I think the new version does not match with the possibility of some sites.

Hi zandi I have not tried Firefox nor Opera, i am using intenet explorer always, the version now i use is 8, the latest i think, i never experienced any difficulty with this, am fully satisfied.. Thanks for sharing. Sorry for late response.. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof
