What is slowing down Firefox?
Which web browser do you use? If you are a Windows user, you might be using Internet Explorer whereas if you are a Mac user, you are probably using Safari.
Since I make web sites, I need to check those sites I make with various browsers. I usually check with IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari.
Up until quite recently, I used to use Firefox as my default browser as it has lots of useful AddOns but now I have chosen Chrome as my default. The reason? FF was very very slow. FF was almost as slow as IE. Now that I use Windows7, sometimes IE is faster than FF.
Mozilla has announced the reason for FF’s slowness. It says it is because of those useful AddOns.
Going through the list, I found two that I use all the time. For a web developer, Firebug is a must, and it is No.2! On top of that, ranked at 9 is a very useful bookmark sync AddOn, Xmarks Sync. I guess it would take some time for me to use FF as my default browser.
