Thanks you all. | | geek_ottoitis | August 28, 2008, 1:18 pm | #7 | | Re 3..............what do you mean 'takes longer to start up...........? Start up for me: Press start button until
user name 'box' appears vary between 40 secs.- 44.7 secs. if that's any help. (above is old fire fox) | | geek_puddleduck00 | August 28, 2008, 1:22 pm | #8 | | He means it takes long to launch firefox. I find it fine. I am starting to feel firefox is a little more bloated than it needs to be. | | geek_r.g.nixon | August 28, 2008, 1:33 pm | #9 | | Addons can bloat it I have 10 of them, what about you? | | geek_badcam | August 28, 2008, 1:36 pm | #10 | | I've got 24 addons, and have no issues with speed on F3. This PC is a Pentium 4 3Ghz with 2GB ram. It takes around 10 seconds to load. I wouldn't go back to FF2. | | geek_traceedwards | August 28, 2008, 1:36 pm | #11 | | Re & 6 Turn off the update fuction | | geek_ottoitis | August 28, 2008, 1:39 pm | #12 | | Re # 8..............................So my 40 secs.- 44.7 secs. would be considered 'OK'/Not Bad'? | | geek_badcam | August 28, 2008, 1:44 pm | #13 | | 10. Just checked mine. 10 with no tabs. 17 with 5 tabs open at startup. 40 seconds looks slow. How old is your PC? What specs? | | geek_puddleduck00 | August 28, 2008, 1:48 pm | #14 | | I got Pentium D (yeah haha) 3.0GHz with 1GB of RAM and FF runs fine when it's booted..But it takes a while to launch. Much longer than other browsers. If I boot Opera, IE7 and FF3 all at the same time, opera and IE7 are ready to go long before FF. However I still prefer FF over any browser. | | geek_gothicrebel | August 28, 2008, 2:11 pm | #15 | | Re # 1 FF 3.0 is a downgrade not an upgrade. Last decent stable version of FF was version 2.0.0.16
Opera and safari leave FF3 for dead ! | | geek_ifusion | August 28, 2008, 2:35 pm | #16 | | "Opera and safari leave FF3 for dead !" Pfft what a load of crap! | | geek_ottoitis | August 28, 2008, 4:32 pm | #17 | | Re # 13 Toshiba laptop Dec. 2006, Harvey Norman. 512mb? Broadband wireless, speed 54 mbps,(when hover mouse above screen icon bottom right desktop) | | geek_0800xford | August 28, 2008, 4:40 pm | #18 | | 5 seconds here, mo'fox 3 xubuntu 8.04.1 and that's with mp3gain molesting my cpu. | | geek_sneeky | August 29, 2008, 12:35 am | #19 | | FF3 Vs FF2 My MacBook Pro opens firefox with about 10 tabs in 3-5 secs. 4Gb of ram. FF3 is alot less resource hungry than ff2. FF2 had an issue of caching unopened web pages.
Safari is very good, it's fast and renders colours better. But when every I use it I miss my addons. | | geek_seriouslycgi | August 29, 2008, 1:36 am | #20 | | Mine takes 1-3 minutes on a duron 750 with windows xp and like 3 add-onsonce going its fine on resources just takes a while to start firefox, os starts up quicker than firefox does lol | | geek_drcspy | August 29, 2008, 1:51 am | #21 | | TEN seconds to load FF ?.........sloooowww my 'old' pc P4 2.8ghz (@ 3.2ghz with 1.5gb ram) loads it up with three open tabs in 5 seconds | | geek_vitaminh | August 29, 2008, 7:51 am | #22 | | It seems exactly the same to me lol just as fast loading, same features etc. | | Leave your comment: | |
