I love firefox too. But for me it always starts slowing down half way through the day (about the same time as I do). Maybe its firebug? This has happened on windows and mac. Restarting it makes it work better, like myself after lunch.
Its still my favorite browser though.
- nhebb 13y agoGo to about:memory then click the "Minimize memory usage" button. P.S. If anyone knows how to add that button to the FF toolbar, I would consider you a minor deity for at least a whole day.
- MikeCapone 13y agoInteresting. What does pressing that button actually do?
- lambda_cube 13y agoIf you hover that button with your mouse pointer you can read the following explanation: Send three "heap-minimize" notifications in a row. Each notification triggers a global garbage collection followed by a cycle collection, and causes the process to reduce memory usage in other ways, e.g. by flushing various caches.

- azakai 13y agoFirebug can definitely slow down the browser. You can try browsing for a while without it, perhaps using a separate profile.
