Ever since updating to 1.5.0.7, FF has been dog as sllloooooowwww for me ... can't take much more of this molassenary * behaviour.

* molassenary
Pronunciation: mo·las·sen·ary
Function: none of any importance
Etymology: adaptation of slowassmofo, from early Latin
1. To move at the speed of molasses
2. Something that is slow
3. A word CityK just made up
Used in a sentence: If my web browser was any more molassenary, I'd swear I was running on dial up.

I've noticed this too. Installed 1.5.05 on a fresh build and it's snappy. Update to 1.5.0.7 and it's molassenary

I've been using the Pigfoot build with no noticeable difference.

I noticed no difference, but my hardware isn't exactly sluggish.

I'm using Firefox 2 RC1, it seems OK except that I can't get the access keys to work. It might be PEBKAC, but it worked fine in 1.5.0.x...

Ant they've already found a Security hole in it.

How much you want to bet they knew of that bug before today and waited for the final release.

I'm still not convinced to switch and I haven't even tried it yet.

You're right, apparently the vulnerability has been known for about six month http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=35210 :aok:

I've installed it on the computer at work, and it's OK except that the tabs are really ugly (maybe not a huge problem, but still), and I can't find a way to put the menu bar above the navigation bar, maybe it's a feature from Vista?

Anyway, I think I'll keep using Firefox and Opera as my main browsers... And I can't upgrade at home even if I wanted to since I'm doing some web development now and then.

There are instructions for installing multiple versions of IE on the same PC floating around...

But as far as I'm concerned that's like screwing different people to get multiple versions of herpes.

IE7 broke my company's web site. I suggested that we put a large "Get Firefox now you fucking retard" button on our page, but noooo... they're thinking of wasting the time to re-code for yet another broken Microsoft browser.

I really hate browserism. Why do people hate anything except Microsoft?

Now that I've used it some more I think IE7 is more like Syphilis. Left untreated it can cause damage to both the nervous system, heart and brain.
