Pissed off

I'm about two inches away from dumping Firefox and never using it again.

It's been a great browser the last few years, but in the last couple of months, since they released the new updates, it's gotten really FUCKING buggy. About 25% of the time I can't load a page - have to keep clicking the link over and over again. I'm sick of doing this!

Also, the other day I was at my mom's house on her computer, and a new Firefix update came through - 2.0.0.11. But I haven't gotten the alert for this update. When I click "look for updates", it claims there aren't any. But I'm still at 2.0.0.9!

Because of the page-loading bullshit, I can't get onto the Firefox forum to ask anybody any questions!

I know Firefox is supposed to be better than IE, and it has been. But right now it's just as shitty as IE, and I'm pretty pissed off. I've never had this much trouble on the internet before.

1. Do you have a lot of plugins (now called "add-ons")? They can sssllllow down Firefox. Firefox has become a big memory hog over time, although it is still better than IE.

2. Opera. You might like it. I like the way their tabbed browsing works and there is also an integrated bittorrent client. :)

I've only got a few plugins - Adblock, Flashblock, a couple of others - so I don't think that's it. I have heard good things about Opera, so I might give it a try.

I've still got that bag of yarn! Email me your your address so I can drop it in the mail to you. :)
