Still Have Not Solved The Memory Issue


Firefox  by an anonymous user on June 16th 2008 at 07:43 PM

I just downloaded v3.0 RC2 and its still as much of a memory hog as the previous 2.x version. It is still the best browser out there, inspite of this issue but if they could address the memory issue, it would be a no brainer...

No Doubts

Firefox is hands-down the best web browser available for this particular user.

I have tried many, many browsers over the years, including Netscape Navigator, Opera, and Internet Explorer, but I have to hand it to Mozilla. They have developed the ultimate one.


The application itself is extremely versatile, able to be rendered portable and taken almost anywhere with any number of its limitless plugins.


It is easily movable from one system to another as well; all one need do is move a single folder for instant transfer of every personalized setting.


In sum, I am not certain what other reviews mean by "slow at times" or "sometimes feeling IE is a better choice". Firefox has won me over. I have not needed nor wanted another browser since downloading years ago.

Awesome! But.....

.......I'm sure you already knew that.


The extensions available are amazing and just when you thought they couldn't improve it any more, someone, somewhere manages to come up with an extension that really makes your life a lot easier!

Firefox Really Fires Up The Web!

Firefox is fast, light (if you dont add too many plugins), very versatile (becasue of its add-ons) and secure.


The recent release of Firefox and the upcoming one are getting better in stability and the recent memory leakage issues.


Try it and you are sure to like it better than IE.

OStatic Buffer Overflow...

First look at stable Firefox 3.5. Mozilla is inviting everyone to download the finalized new version.

An open source GSM network. It was spotted at a Dutch hacker convention, and proves that powerful networks can have grassroots beginnings.

End of days for Sun. Only nine years ago, Sun's stock was at $257 per share, with a market cap of almost $100 billion--but those days are gone.

Impressions of the T-Mobile MyTouch Android phone. The voice recognition for voice searches stands out.

Is Chrome OS too Orwellian or Big Brother-ish? Not only is Google open to almost everything we do on the Internet, but it will also be the only thing sitting between users and hardware with Chrome OS.



5 Firefox Extensions to Keep Your Browsing (More) Private

Firefox

Firefox 3 has private browsing features built right in, but if you're running an older version it doesn't mean you have to give up your privacy altogether. Here are five Firefox extensions that will keep your browsing discreet and private no matter what version of Firefox you're using:

TrackMeNot - This extension runs in the background as you browse and periodically sends out random queries to search engines so your actual searches get lost in the crowd. Your search activities stay hidden so sites like Yahoo! and Google won't be able to gather any meaningful data from your visit.
