y u do dis firefox?
I have been a long time hater of Firefox since about 1.0 came out. I remember loving it back in the 0.8 days, before it turned into a bloatmare (bloated nightmare, I am a master of the English language obviously) So last week, when I had so many tabs open in Opera, Arora, and Konqueror and decided I would nuke them and reopen later to see what I had up and kill the irrelevant tabs. I was then faced with a choice: Midori, Galeon, or Firefox. Now all three are GTK so should be as bad as each other, but I figured Midori was just an Arora clone (or vice versa really) and Galeon is old, so I went with Firefox. Wrong Fucking Choice.
I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue with Firefox, I believe it only effects *nix users, as an OSX G5 user I know has said it happens to her. One certain pages, but not all, and it seems to be somewhat random except GMail ALWAYS does it, cause my HDD to start grinding. It makes a terrible noise like the arm and head are ramming into the platter like a 15 year old virgin and his birthday whore in this terrible cacophany of OH GOD MY HARD DISKS FFFFFFFFFFFFF. Has this happened to anyone else?
That’s about all I have to say on the matter besides for Firefox 3 still rapes memory but isn’t too bad without any extensions, and it’s still an ugly as fuck GTK application.
