I have had some "freeze" problems also. But I think I fixed them with the "config" hack. It's Official By rightwingprof on Geekiness I now really, really, really detest Firefox. I want to either downgrade to 1.5.x, or move to another browser, one that's supposed to be what Firefox used to be: Fast and stable, not a CPU hog, and with no intrusive "Your files have all downloaded!" popups or automatic updates. So far today, Firefox has frozen seven times — you know, when there's supposedly a "script" running on the page. On one of those pages, there was nothing but text. On another, there was no damned script. I know, because I authored that page. I have had to close and rerun Firefox three times today because it was eating up 100% of my CPU. And don't point me to any of those lame about:config hacks. I shouldn't have to edit a damned thing to make the application stable. Firefox has become Netscape, with feature creep. It's big and bloated and unstable, and I hate it. Can I downgrade? If not, what else is out there? I'm really missing Lynx right about now.
