Mozilla firefox

[FirestormMike]

The other day I got the update message from firefox to the latest version, so I happily clicked the button and off it went to do it's thing.
Now everytime I load it up I can hear my hard drive going crazy. Internet explorer (which i use most of the time) works ok.
Any ideas ?

i switched from IE to firefox ages ago,but now find that firefox is slower than a slow thing from slowsville and have started to use google chrome Google Chrome and so far its been a lot better, dont know about security though and i will probably still use firefox for buying things

I'm not sure if this will work, but its worth a shot.
Press ctrl, alt delete, and open up window's task manager.

Go on 'Processes' and look for.. Firefox.exe
As you can see, Explorer.exe should be right below it.
Compare the memory usage, the diffrence is about 50,000k.

Right click firefox.exe and set the priority to High, See if it makes a diffrence.
If it gets worse, or stays the same, try setting it to low.

However, If you want a fast browser, that uses Very low memory, try:
