    My Firefox has become damn slow. I have about 10-15 add-ons on it and open about 10-15 webpages into it at a time. It hangs specially when i open flash applications, like any game in facebook. And it gives that damn message, 'Crash Firefox, Report, Restart, blah blah blah... I un-installed and installed it back with same add-ons and it works slow back again. My Google Chrome is still working fine, but there are somethings, like WOT add-on on firefox and not on google, forcing me to do search on firefox.... I m so used to firefox, and find myself helpless.

    Ravie Busie Coding is my birth-right and bugs are part of feature my code has!

      Add-ons are probably the issue here, how's the performance without them? If it's fine then experiment by gradually adding them til you get the slowdown.

        One of my add-ons slows The Register's review pages to a crawl but it's OK otherwise.

            Do you _really_ need all of these ?
