Firefox speed
Tuesday, January 31, 2012 by kona0197 | Discussion: Personal Computing
Due to the fact that some of my favorite extensions will not work on Firefox 10 I am still using Firefox 3.6.26. I've noticed that Firefox is getting slower and slower and I need help figuring out why. It can't be my computer as it has more than enough RAM at 2 GB of DDR3. Perhaps it is a memory leak or a rogue extension?
I am running the following extensions:
AdBlock Plus
Element Hiding Helper For AdBlock Plus
Facebook Zoom
IE Tab V2
Is It Compatible?
Java Console 6.0.30
Middle Click To Go Back
Reload Tab On Double Click
WeatherBug
WebMail Ad Blocker
Thanks in advance. At this point IE is quicker and usually Firefox is the quickest browser on my setup.

Mines a brand new rig. I have not upgraded because i don't like the look and one of my crucial add-ons is not support beyond 3.6.

Mines pretty new...but certain addons I like don't work in newer versions of firefox. And the older version I'm using works fast...so no reason to update unless the addons get updated.

didn't google infiltrate firefox to bring down the quality so chrome would look more appealing to consumers?

Are you folks that refuse to move to the newest versions running on somewhat dated pc's? I haven't hit any problems anyway. Glad you fellas have a solution at least.
