Firefox has become laggier than IE7 for me

Dude whatever I think your wrong. IE7 is faster. Whats with your comments about me reading reviews too it makes no sense, you link me reviews / tests to read then claim that that isn't educating, and its only second hand knowledge, if thats the case why link em in the first place? P.S. I have tested all the browsers too, and IE7 takes the cake for me... again your not an expert anymore than anyone else. You have it backwards too, FF took idea's from Netscape. Also *** dude, your little names path thing, is basically the same as mine with like 1 change woopdie doo. Epic.

Firefox is a bit slow on initial start-up... but once it does, it blazes through we pages.

 

I guess the speed of the browsers you use really depends on the system that you own and it depends on the configurations you have made to your OS as well, in my system (Sager NP9262 / Quad Q9450 / 8800m GTX SLi / 4 GB 800 MHz RAM / x3 200 GB @ 7,200 RPM Drives in RAID-0), Firefox is lightning fast and Opera is second to Firefox, while Internet Explorer is slow to load pages, takes about 150% more time to load pages than with Firefox or Opera, with both the 32-Bit and 64-Bit versions of Internet Explorer that is.

Edit: Added what versions of IE 7.0 I used.

 

Well my system is below and IE7 seems to load faster than FF.. chrome I think beats both slightly but has some other bugs I dont like.

 

Might be that I have a really heavily-tweaked version of Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit too, disabled a lot of useless services, boot-up services, disabled UAC, scheduled a daily maintenance routine, etc...

Chrome is OK, I do not use it because of Google's "Blindly-Written" User Agreement, and also because of the bugs and security flaws.

 

Wow. Good argument. I'm dealing with cold, hard facts here. Your making a decision based off biased assumptions.

I apparently know more in this area than you do. Your only argument as of yet is "I don't care. IE7 is faster." It's basically like a child saying "lalalala" when they don't hear what they want to hear.

I do not have it backwards at all. You have it backgrounds. Firefox broke of from Netscape. Netscape's browser was open source. They did nothing wrong in taking the code, making it better, and calling it their own.

lol

Come on just use whatever browser you wish. Whichever browser you deem better, fine use it. No need to force your opinions on others. Learn to respect others' preferences and opinions.

Oh what's the use.

 

I can't live without FF extensions, which is probably one of the things that keeps me from using Chrome instead of FF... But it's true though, even with FasterFox installed, ABP running; Chrome still loads pages faster than FF. When it took ages to load a page with FF, Chrome, while not only took a breeze, still faster.

With Opera, I left that browser when FF3 is released because of some incompatibilities with web pages. Now that I'm with FF though, I don't really feel the need to go back to Opera.

I hope with Chrome as a competition, the mozilla developers will optimize FF more instead of just adding bloated features here and there. TraceMonkey is a good step.

WORD. Like they always say... Don't feed the trolls.

 

chrome is definitely faster but i am still on FF3. just cant seem to get away from it.

 

1. Your getting facts that are old, and from people like you, biased FF anti Microsoft fan boys that just use linux and don't know that girls exist yet, instead preffering to sit in their parents basements and talk about dungeons and dragons and penguins and other oddities . Face it IE7 is fine, just like Mac did with Vista, FF has done with IE making people believe IE has all sorts of flaws when it doesn't. They should do a Mojave experiment with IE7 see what happens.

2. I just don't want to argue with you anymore, clearly your too thick headed to see it any other way, so enjoy your slow FF and useless plugins.

3. Never said anything was wrong with them taking the code, but they took Netscapes code... and Netscape is a god awful browser... sure FF made some improvements, but its still based on Netscape so it can't be that good.

p.s. I seem to see a lot of "FF problems" threads, and not a lot of IE problem threads, chrome problem threads, opera problem threads, etc. That tells me something too....

 

1) My facts are as bleeding edge as Firefox is. I am not some anti-Microsoft fanboy who uses Linux. In fact, I'm quite the opposite. I use Windows, and I like it. I've never played Dungeons and Dragons in my life and I don't intend to. I know you're trying to paint a stereotypical image, but it's dead wrong for me. I have no problem with IE7. I have a problem with problem saying IE7 is superior to Firefox when that is simply incorrect. (You also have yet to prove this to me, by the way.) Also, Firefox showed everyone that IE6 had flaws, not IE7. IE6 was 6 years outdated. That's a flaw in and of itself (a flaw of Microsoft's, that is). Firefox is taking market share primarily from IE6, and for a reason. That reason is that Firefox is more of a modern browser than IE7. Plain and simple. If we were comparing IE8 with Firefox 3, we would be having a different (though not much so) conversation.

2) I am actually not thick-headed. As I've mentioned, I've tried every main browser out there and I have chosen what I believe to be the best of them.

3) Netscape was not an awful browser in its prime. In fact, it was once superior to IE (prior to IE4 to be specific). Let's give credit where it's due here. Netscape died off because it failed to move forward.

Edit: Also, let's do away with the insults. I'm not thickheaded, nor am I some geek in my parents' basement.
