J,
You could be right. I read what you sent, but frankly I understand very
little of it. Sorry; I could be a browser-noob still............ :) But,
even though I do not use tabs in FF, I still do like how FF operates.
I do need to go back in my records and see when I did start using FF. It
could very well be that I had the problem with "tabs" EARLY when still
using the old Barton 2500+. Now, that I use a C2D, I have not gone back to
play with "tabs"again. Good project for the next week........Thanks.
I sure will investigate the TabMixPlus suggestion you sent. Thanks.
Best,
Duncan

Why Duncan? TESTING! If it's doing something screwy then it's time to
test! Create a shortcut to you firefox like this: "firefox.exe
-profilemanager", then create a new acccount to test with. In the end you
can switch accounts the same way. New account = no improvement then the
only choice is backup FF & you profile(s), and do a clean install of FF w/
new profile.
How would using a "new browser window" and not using tabs = lower cpu or
ram usage? If anything this would mean greater usage on both.
Another tip is TabMixPlus which gives better control over how tabs work.

I am still having trouble with "tabs" for some reason. If "tabs" are
enabled, the FF3 browser just grinds to a halt quickly; like right after
the 2d "tab". If I disable "tabs" and us "open in a new browser page,"
FF3 works great; just like IE. This is my current run choice.
I know that problem is here locally. I just have not found it and killed
it!!!!! LOL!
Several have suggested that I just kill/erase the current FF install and
start fresh. An option, perhaps, but I am still wondering why? I started
w/FF3.01 and am not at FF3.05 (using NoScript and CSLite).
Whatever. Not an operational issue for me ATM.
Best,
Duncan
