Are there any other people who are finding that firefox:
a. takes a long time to open,(compared to how it used to)
b. is increasingly unresponsive(not responding message, appears more frequently)
I have firefox on laptop, my desktop, my friends desktop, and my mums computers and they all seem to suffer the same. any comments from the techies as to why this may be. any other browsers recommended? Oh all OS are windows XP

I found it to be quite slow, and got rid of it in the end.
I like IE8, running it on XP, and Windows 7. I also have Google Chrome installed as an alternative, this seems to be very fast, but some stuff stll doesn;t appear correctly, so always use IE for purchases, banking etc.0 -
Try a quick clearing of your history:
Tools > Clear recent history.
You can modify history in:
Tools > Options > Privacy
If it continues to annoy you. Definitely don't use IE - Firefox or Opera are far superior and have less vulnerabilities.0 -
Mine opens as quick as it always did, and I don't think I've had it crash in at least 6 months, certainly can't remember anyway. I have a stock set of security plug ins and it's the best browser I've ever used on all the main platforms.0

Any reason that you are using an old version? see here:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
Clearing the recent history speeded up my Firefox a bit.I went away and now I'm back.:j:j0

Must admit that I've dumped Firefox too. I seemed to be getting a lot of probs opening pdf files where it would just freeze up. A couple of years ago it was streets ahead of IE, but no so much now IMO. I now use IE8 and Safari.0
