Hello list, Since updating to the new JFW release that came out last week, I've been noticing that my Firefox browser has become quite sluggish and over all more cumbersome. Jaws frequently pauses for quite a bit now after the browser is open for a few minutes and often, I have to click on a link more than once for it to activate. Checking out the processes in the task manager, I see that my Firefox process gets into the 400000 range after only 40 minutes or so and goes up to 6 and 600000 soon after. Before doing the upgrade, I wouldn't see those types of numbers only until the browser had been open for a long time. Now, if I want to continue using Mozilla on a prolonged basis, I find myself having to close and relaunch Firefox throughout the day. Something I never really had to do except for every blue moon prior to doing the upgrade. IE 8 seems to be working fine with no wild increase in its process.
I have no idea whether this new JFW 11.0.143 upgrade and my Mozilla performance issues have anything to do with each other, but I can't think of anything else that has changed on my system that could be affecting it. I've got both antivirus and anty spyware programs (Microsoft security essentials and A2squared) running on my machine and everything's up to date and clean. Also, I'm running XP Pro 32 bit. I know others along with myself have been reporting various problems since upgrading JFW and was curious if my Mozilla process issue was in fact being experienced by others as well. Any input or observations or perhaps even confirmation of this problem would be quite welcomed. Firefox is my prefered browser and I'd like to keep it that way. I've already contacted FS support about some other update issues but so far after a couple of e-mail back and forths, I've gotten the standard "your inquiry has been bumped up to a research supervisor" response. I'm not exactly holding my breath... Thanks, Cristobal For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
