Got rid of Firefox - GoFuckYourself.com

Anthony · 01-24-2007, 03:36 PM

I love Firefox, and all of it's addons.

However... I can't stand watching it take up 99% of my system resources. I couldn't run outlook (Another system hog) and it at the same time.

I changed back to Opera, and what do you know, I don't go over 20% resources running everything.

drctfiesta · 01-24-2007, 03:38 PM

Do you know about Jebus?

nosey · 01-24-2007, 03:53 PM

No spyware, I have tons of programs for it. Firefox is just a pig on resources.

goldmine · 01-24-2007, 08:23 PM

Time to upgrade that stick of 256

american pervert · 01-24-2007, 08:30 PM

anthony is 100% correct.. FF has a huge issues with using system resources.

Nookster · 01-24-2007, 08:31 PM

True it is a resource hog...but, all you need to do is upgrade your memory and you won't have any major problems.

Doctor Dre · 01-24-2007, 08:32 PM

Not an issue here I'm never anywhere close to using my full memory.

Ayla_SquareTurtle · 01-24-2007, 08:32 PM

I run firefox with Outlook, trillian, eudora, etc all at the same time all day, every day, and my system is pretty shitty. Maybe there's some tweaking you need to do?

StuBradley · 01-24-2007, 08:37 PM

yeah...im running at 2% as i write this....using firefox.

Spunky · 01-24-2007, 08:57 PM

I was tired of it highjacking shit and losing bookmarks..Opera is good enough for me

VeriSexy · 01-24-2007, 10:30 PM

I love the extensions too much to give up FF

stickyfingerz · 01-24-2007, 10:34 PM

12 tabs open, exporting a 40 minute video to flash and have photoshop open too. running 48% cpu and have over 2gb of ram free. Shrugs. lol Anthony you come up here and be my personal trainer for awhile and Ill put together a kick ass system for ya.

Cory W · 01-24-2007, 10:36 PM

Macbook Pro. Maxed out.

FF ran the damn thing into the ground. I dumped it as well.

madawgz · 01-24-2007, 10:37 PM

strange....i havnt had any problems since the 2.0

Pimpin_J · 01-24-2007, 10:48 PM

FF rocks for me. No probs at all

PAR · 01-24-2007, 10:48 PM

I have had the same problems with FF and IE7 on my laptop ... use Opra now and dont have any problems (I still use FF and IE7 for testing sites and all but for day to day Opra all the way)

pornguy · 01-24-2007, 10:56 PM

I dont have a problem with it, and this is a 3 year old laptop,

Haha, exactly. FireFox is the shit, but isn't for everybody. I got a system probably similar to yours so I'm all good and FireFox rarely causes problems.

SPACE GLIDER · 01-24-2007, 10:59 PM

I've never had a resourse prob with Firefox.

PHP-CODER-FOR-HIRE · 01-24-2007, 11:06 PM

It's sitting at 65 megs, with only this forum open...

It definitely takes up a lot of ram, but it's worth it IMO.

Cash · 01-24-2007, 11:12 PM

Do you have many add-ons from FF? Maybe they eat lots of resources ...

RawAlex · 01-24-2007, 11:15 PM

I have 4 windows open and firefox is using exactly 96908k. Heck, states remote is using 65000 or so.

If you were seeing high CPU usage, it was very likely that you had either a corrupted plugin or a similar issue. I have never seen firefox go to 99% without a defective plug-in of some sort (adobe reader version tend to hang, but they do the same thing too in IE).

Enjoy Opera, I guess. FF isn't an issue here.

NemesiS876 · 01-24-2007, 11:16 PM

I am still with Firefox, and I don't have that problems ...

LiveDose · 01-25-2007, 12:00 AM

I dumped it the day I lost all my bookmarks.

Martin3 · 01-25-2007, 12:07 AM

It's most likely the plugins that were causing all your problems.

I keep one firefox window open 24/7 with about 20 tabs on it to monitor my sites, and other windows for surfing and shit. Never have any lock up or slow downs. Opteron 165 @ 2.7 might have something to do with that though

Memory usage can sometimes creep up close to 200megs but with 2gigs it doesn't matter.

BSleazy · 01-25-2007, 12:09 AM

I love firefox for most things but for some reason on the laptop I'm on right now everything just runs slower than slow. I click over to a new firefox window and everthing freezes up for about 15 seconds. Rediculous. No problems like that with IE7.

tony286 · 01-25-2007, 12:13 AM

its working fine for me got a gig of ram and using less than half
