    Re: Firefox Question

    I quit with Firefox for all of the above reasons. I've used Chrome now for over a year and find it the most issue free of all the browsers. Also use an adware blocker and a do not track on my AVG.

      It says it is the Adobe Flash when I look it up in Windows Task Manager and I can see the RAM it is using (CPU 25%). I can shut it down and the browser behaves normally but no flash (CPU 1-4%)

        Exactly. I kept crashing when I played Castleville and it was actually Zynga Games that recommended Chrome to me. I've long ago quit playing the game but just don't have the issues.

          GH, like you I started using Chrome some time ago, also, but I like to use Firefox because of its Developer add ons and being 2nd in use to IE, I have to see what web sites, I am building, look like.

          Only problem I have with Chrome is the occasional Flash crash but otherwise it is very efficient and streamlined IMO!

            Resuming older thread ..

            For the reason John stated in post #12 about "RAM hog", and the continuing issue with firefox not scrolling while selecting text when the mouse gets to the bottom of the screen, I quit using firefox.

            Now .. fast forward to the past two months. I NEED to be able to open various email attachments for work .. e.g. xls, pdf, doc, etc. I have yahoo email. Back around the start of December 2013, I can no longer open any attachments. Thinking a box somehow got check'd or uncheck'd and after much hunting with no success, I went through the misery of contacting yahoo. It really wasn't too bad once I got to a person on live chat. After getting nowhere, I gave him permission to "get on my 'puter". In the end .. they still won't open. He suggested firefox as a "test." I downloaded it (ver.26 I think) and went to email and voila .. attachments open. So I went back to firefox. I notice in Task Manager under Processes, firefox is using 300+ MB of RAM where as IE9 is under 100 MB. Those vary some of course .. AND, the scroll still doesn't work. I copy and paste a lot and so I use the select text/scroll a LOT. I guess I have to use IE for most internet use and firefox for email.

            Issachar, thinking the internet/software folks need to stop and leave well enough alone ..
            The church is on Earth to save souls from a lost world, not to save the world from lost souls.

            Man learns about history, not from history. To learn from history requires wisdom. Cut off from God, he has none, so history repeats; no new thing under the sun.

              Ish,

              I use yahoo email more than hotmail and gmail and have no problem opening attachments. I get quite a bit of spam in it, however, but it is good about directing what I label as spam to the spam folder.

              Still use chrome the most for every day internet use, firefox for banking and IE to view web site builds and Google rankings.
