Has anybody else been experiencing major problems with the latest version of Firefox?
The latest version doesn’t seem to handle itself as well as the previous version and that means that at any point in time, the Firefox browser will become sluggish, slow-to-respond, or stop working altogether forcing me to do a Force Quit on the application.
I’ve been trying to pinpoint the exact cause (whether it’s a website I’m visiting or a script that’s running somewhere or possibly one of my add-ons), but so far it just seems like Firefox does a terrible job of staying afloat after a certain number of tabs. This was never the case before with previous versions of the browser.
Could be a major memory leak. But in any case it’s a big enough problem that I’ll sacrifice the headache for now and start using Safari until the next version of Firefox comes out (or until Chrome for the Mac gets a solid release).
