Re: OT: Is it just me or is Firefox slowing worse?
Java hasn't worked in linux since ver 35 I think, it just broke for everyone else recently. I for one embrace the death of java as much as flash, both are terrible examples of necessary evils before, and now just a relic of the past that needs to die. This was one thing I applauded apple for when they declined to support flash anymore. Adobe and that little cartel needed to die off eventually, here's hoping java is next. What does suck is "enterprise" application dependence on java, as it's been taught for 15 years, produced an army of usually bad developers, and ignorant software vendors actually believed it was "platform independent". As long as you always ran jre6.42release3, not release 2 or 4. I've never seen any client that actually works right under linux with a correct version or not, another reason I end up keeping my dumb xp vm around with various customer environments. I dread any java client usage, it is simply destined to fail. If a vendor tries to sell me one, I laugh mockingly and decline, asking when they intend to join the 21st century. There aren't a lot of classes and degrees to reform^H^H^H^Heducate people in modern languages to escape entrenchment of crap like java and microsoft languages either, uop and other crackhead colleges don't bother without microsoft or oracle schilling them. Old habits, and crusty developers die hard, but I suppose they need to eat too, and they hang out with the as400 guys and commiserate about that cloud thing. -mb On 05/23/2015 09:25 PM, Wayne Davis wrote: THIS may be of interest and a reason why you are having some issues: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/04/chrome-starts-pushing-java-off-the-web-by-disabling-plugins/ On 05/23/2015 06:44 PM, Michael Butash wrote: I don't notice firefox any slower than chromium, at least not until using chromes at the same time cause it and my system itself to come to a halt or implodes.

Re: OT: Is it just me or is Firefox slowing worse?
I had this problem some time ago. I seem to recall it happened when I had a lot of tabs open. Probably in excess of 8 or 10. If you close some of your tabs and it speeds up, please post that as a possible reason for FF sluggish behavior.

Re: OT: Is it just me or is Firefox slowing worse?
I actually have been noticing this. Have since moved back to Chrome for a small handful of reasons.
