What is Chrome
My system slows down and eventually I get an unresponsive script with a name that starts with Chrome. When I do a search I find I have 7 chrome.manifest files, 8 chrome folders (1 is a shortcut), one chrome.rdf file and two userchrome-example.css files. What is chrome? Why do I have so many? What causes the slowdowns?

The word chrome is a generic term "The basic structural elements used in a graphical user interface, such as window frames and scroll bars, as opposed to the content." dfn 2 of http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chrome
The chrome files you have found are needed for Firefox to function correctly. Please do not remove them.
