EEEEKKKK!! Firefox Cannot Handle Windows 7

As an SEO I constantly use firefox,

But since getting Windows 7, it seems as though Firefox is really slow, laggy and out of date.

IE on the other hand is flying on Windows 7

Windows 7 is running superb otherwise, the only problem is Firefox and its using around 500mb of ram

Anyone else noticing this problem? Any fixes?

Or is it a secret ploy to slow the growth of Firefox by making IE the fastest browser

 

u installed any new plugins with ff ?

 

Nope the funny thing is that I havent any plugins installed yet, as its happening without any plugins. Once I add the plugins it will probably crap out even more

 

i think you got it the wrong way around .... windows 7 does not want to handle firefox
My firefox in Ubuntu seldom, if ever uses, more than 200Mb with 8+ tabs open.

 

True,

I consider moving from FireFox after 3 years

 

No upset, but why the ** are you using W7 ?

Firefox works fine for me and my computer works great with xp. Stop paying for all the craps.

 

I am using W7 because I do not work on old computers, and any new computer I buy comes with Windows 7

XP was a great OS but its had its day, time to move with the trends

 

Win 7 is working greta for me...no problems with FF.

 

That's bad news. I've just put Windows 7 on my other HDD, but did not install any applications yet.
Hope the new firefox versions will work fine on it, otherwise I'll stick with my fantastic and old XP

 

i love w7 you should breakdown and turn to the darkside.

 

Yeah I agree with you. My Firefox was crashing after every 10 mins.

I uninstalled it and now using IE8 - I M Loving it!

 

There must be something wrong with your computer.
Do you use a very old PC?
I have over 40+ tabs open and use about 20-25 different add-ons and my CPU is 30%-35% for Firefox and 380-400 mb RAM.

 

for me, it works well on windows 7

 

Well I don't know about TS! But I have 4GB RAM and 320 GB Hard Disk.

 

Has nothing to do with your HDD mate
I use a Intel Dual Core 1.8Ghz with 2GB RAM.

 

Its a brand new computer with 3gb ram and Triple core processor

 

Yeah I know Just flaunting

 

Hmm.. there must be something different.
I have a slower PC but my resources are lower than yours.

 

We use firefox in our offices and all the PC's run Win7 and firefox is flying. Way better than IE.

So obviously this is a problem only with the OP's computer alone. I suggest you reinstall Windows7 to, perhaps, fix whatever problems Win7 caused or get some tech support to fix your install of Firefox since no one else has any issues.
