Firefox 3.5 - John Larkin - 2009-07-01 14:46:00
Downloaded and installed in about 90 seconds. Everything I had in place still works. Tab management is better, and it seems to load web pages faster. Why can't Microsoft program this well? John

Microsoft would be spending 99% of their effort on ways to disable the program for people they don't think have paid for it or have the right to use.

Mine needs short 4% bursts. What hogs and hangs is when Adobe Acrobat Reader fires up, IMHO one of the worst pieces of SW ever written in terms of crash frequency. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

The CPU usage goes to 100% for several seconds, FF is totally non-responsive to mouse/KB input, as is all other programs. Google "firefox cpu". It's a well known problem for which I've tried the known solutions to no effect. I agree with you about Acrobat Reader. It halts everything else when firing up inside of any browser, or outside. Art

Mine needs short 4% bursts. Don't see much problems either. IMHO the more of the web browsers you have installed, the more unnecessary problems and holes in the security you have added by yourself. > What hogs and hangs is when > Adobe Acrobat Reader fires up, IMHO one of the worst pieces of SW ever > written in terms of crash frequency. Acrobat gets slower and more hungry with every new version. Vladimir Vassilevsky DSP and Mixed Signal Design Consultant http://www.abvolt.com

Adobe may be the only major operation that programs worse than Microsoft. I use Foxit Reader (*not* as a browser plugin) to view pdf's, CutePDF (as a virtual printer) to make them. Both are solid and blinding fast. John
