I realize that I'm wasting my breath here, but you might consider trying IE8. Firefox runs all its tabs from one process, but IE8 uses a separate process for each one. That makes opening a new tab a little slower, but opening a lot of tabs doesn't slow it down. I think Chrome works this way too. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
