#106 | Yes and know, there is tabbrowsers extensions which adds tons of functionability, but the home page for that site says its unstable with firefox. I used to use it and didn't have any major problems, i had a few which i accused tabbrowser of but it couldve been anything.

#107 | Yeah, I've found it and it gives me just the right option I was looking for. I haven't noticed any problems with it so far.

#108 | Well, its hard to tell if the problems are caused by it or not, b/c they aren't usually related to tabbrowser. All of a sudden a page may not display or firefox crashes or other extensions cease to work, you would have a hard time telling if it is tabbrowser or not.

#109 | The only thing I dont like about firefox is when you push in the scroll wheel on your mouse to scroll down a page faster, you cant scroll up the wheel to make it stop, you have to click it in again | | Distinguished Member with 6,458 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Louisiana Experience: 1+3+3=7 |

#111 | And the only thing I do not like is that there are loads of extensions for Ffox and I spend much time searching for the one (or two or three or...) I need... 
Luckily, after all, I mostly can find it... | | Distinguished Member with 6,528 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: NYC |

#114 | I love Firefox...but one thing bugs me. It takes too long to load. I click on a url shortcut and wait. It's about 20 seconds on my L800r with 256MBRAM. I hate to say it but IE pops right up. I'm not giving up on Firefox and I'll never go back to IE but I'd sure like to get it online faster. I'm running a few extensions with the default theme (I'm not an eye candy type). | | Distinguished Member with 22,933 posts. | | |

#115 | On startup, firefox can be slow, but once you are connected and on the Internet it should fly. | | Senior Member with 126 posts. | | Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Wrocław, Poland Experience: only fools say they know everything |

#117 | Firefox takes a few seconds to load(as opposed to IE's instantaneousness) on the family computer, and a bit longer on my modified compaq(which I don't use much now, as I fixed my good computer). On this one, which is built by myself, it goes instantly. On the other two comps, firefox loads pages sections at a time. On this one it all loads at once, faster than IE by far. On this one i'm definatly keeping firefox as the default(for one it's reduced the number of spyware/adware and tracking cookie occurances compared to what I used to use, Avant. This is because I have on the feature that lets you keep sites from installing stuff). This comp uses 512mb of DDR. So does the family computer. The biggest speed difference between the two is the fact that this one has a 1.3 ghz processor and the other has a 333mb one(it was built 4 years ago, dad plans to build a new one soon). That leads me to believe that processor power is worth more for firefox than memory. | | Distinguished Member with 6,458 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Louisiana Experience: 1+3+3=7 |

#118 | Well, idk why firefox loads sites slower, mine loads way faster than IE, as far as the program loading itself, it takes longer, but that is expected because IE/explorer is integrated into windows.

#120 | Have you ever had the problem with this annoying pop up 'requested page cannot be displayed' ??
I often get such one and have to reload about two times until it displays. Is it due to my PC or can configure it somehow? What is the reason of that displaying problem?
