why does this new update destroy using the interwebs.... one tab going and one blank tab... 2,000-4,000 mb of memory... I open task master and hit expand on firefox... 5-7 tabs or more are open under it at dif times... this pc is flipping new... also the other laptop and pcs are having same issues, all started with update...

Changing from one open tab to another or just scrolling down a page literally takes 2 to 20 mins to do... making Firefox not respond at all... online gaming though that doesnt start with firefox works like a dream...and every other program i have

Before this update or wtf ever you call this joke... I could have 50 or more tabs going of all sorts of things from a YouTube video going while they are ALL open... and have no lag issues... NONE!!! I could change from tab to tab fsst too..

Now nothing but shit... please help me!!!! I used every help button on firefox and nothing has helped at all.. even re-DL and install it.. Not a thing... it took 40 mins to write this... thats how crappy it is being...

Hello, can you reproduce in safe mode?

Another point to check is your profile. Create a new one and tell us what happens.

Hello Smorele, thank you for a timely reply. Sorry it took me a min to rely back to you. Yeah im running safe mode now and its still the same and i have refreshed again as well, long with the making of a new one. same issues are still happening. the resources Firefox has been using is insanely high still. freezing up still happens and not responding too. three times it locked up while writing this. mep...

like its so bad yesterday for cybermonday. i found a item on Amazon that was a flash sale, once i hit button i had 15mins to buy it or the flah sakle ended.. well it ended just trying to check out. Like i said before. Before thse big update firefox did. i could have many many tab open with 0 lag issues... so i want to cry bc of the lag and i lost out on a couple hundred bucks in sale savings >.> cheese i know but im a single dad on a budget >.<

Try this for ram being used up : Go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Help ? --> Troubleshooting Information Page and take a look in the Accessibility section if accessibility is set to "true" there. if yes, go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser. Restart Firefox
