It's becoming more of a CPU hog. Try less extensions, or just using Chrome.

Firefox is a resource hog. Every tab runs as an independent browser. Ugh. Try going lite browser(k-meleon), Google Chrome.

If you see firefox (or some other app) taking up 100% cpu load, when the browser is just sitting idle on a normal web page, then you know you have a problem. My moms windows XP laptop had a very similar problem recently. I tracked it down to a bug with the windows automatic update feature. Once I disabled automatic updates, the problem went away.. (they kept spiking at 100% cpu and making the fans kick on full blast, in turn slowing the rest of the system down.)

I thought that was was chrome did. If one tab crashes, it doesnt crash the whole browser because everything is run as a separate process.

Yeah, every browser using netscape's base code with tabs works like that. I was just making it clear that it is a hog and every tab is its own browser to accentuate that fact. The TST page in Chrome takes 10,000kb, a more complicated page like IGN.com takes 59,000kb. I've seen TST take as much as 65,000kb in Firefox 3.

Chrome annoys me. I went with Opera a while back and haven't looked back. So minimalistic yet has all the features you want. The originators of the Speed Dial too.

I use Opera and Safari, too, but only when checking my code when programming.
