Re: Where are my Bookmarks?

One problem? How about a constant problem of being just too slow?

Odd, that went straight in from google.

Let's see if the google link will work...

[ADDENDUM]

Nope, that doesn't work either.

Oh well, go to google.co.uk and type in "firefox running slow" and look for the indented link marked "Firefox painfully slow" for the page.

Here's the most relevant bit:

After a day of using FF 1 without the preferences toolbar, I suspect this extension to have been source of the problem. FF 1 now runs smooth and super-fast.

I replaced the tabbrowser extension with the tabbrowser preferences extension, as this contains all I need. My test did not reveal any problem with the tabbrowser extension, but I thought I add it here anyways.

I did no further research so far as if the preferences toolbar extension itself was the problem or the settings I made. Mozilla 1.7.3 runs smooth with it. I just wish my one-click access to activation/deactivation of javascript, cookies, flash and stuff back. Seems I need to find another extension for this, or write one myself *shudder*.

Re: Where are my Bookmarks?

Nope.

There's really no need - my mind is made up, FF is off my machine now.

Re: Where are my Bookmarks?

I had the same problem last month..Perhaps I should have asked too.All this built in redundancy though.I wonder how many hidden back up files are cluttering up my HD? :(

Funny. I tried several other browsers before Firefox and found them slower than IE. The reason I went with FF is that it's just as fast as IE - and much easier to get on with, once you dump the IE mindset.

Re: Where are my Bookmarks?

I'm with you Russ_D i found FF to feel bloated it was like browsing wearing 32layers of leather suits.

IE6 for me just have to be more aware when online.
