Firefox

I am ardent fan of Firefox browser and been heavily promoting it ever since I started using it few years ago. Things went well and my browsing experience with Firefox is great.. until I upgraded to the latest Firefox 2 once it was make available for public.

Since then, I encountered a serious degradation of performance which includes:-

  1. Frequent hangs when switching to another tab
  2. Longer loading time compares to Firefox 1.5
  3. Occasionally send CPU usage to 99%

At first, I thought that it may due the extensions that I have installed but I do not encounter these problems when I am using Firefox 1.5 installed with the same extensions. In the meantime, until they solve the issue, I will re-install Firefox 1.5 on my PC. Hopefully, the upcoming Firefox 3 will offer a huge improvements over its predecessor. Still a Firefox fan though. :D
