Firefox & Vista!

Hey I just recently got a new laptop that has Windows Vista Basic on it. So I just downloaded Firefox on it like 4 days ago and I noticed that firefox runs really slow w Vista. Anyone elso have that problem? IE runs fine. That sucks cuz I love Firefox

 

mozilla firefox works fine for me. have you got the latest version?

 

yep I sure do. Hmm thats weird

 

*delete

 

hmmmm well have you checked your firewall status? some firewall software may secretly block firefox from running. if you're not sure about how to change your settings, there are configuration instructions available for most popular firewall programs (to help you ensure that firefox is allowed to connect to the internet) at...

I currently run Ubuntu Linux. Microsoft has broken many third party features to Vista, as a corporate way of saying screw you. The newest hotmail is extremely difficult to get working on Linux, as firefox has issues with vista. It's not just firefox, it's Microsoft. I exploited vista the first time I ever turned a computer with it on.... in 15 seconds

 

i just reinstalled vista and have been using explorer all night

 

I have vista at work, and firefox 3.0.4 works fine for me there, are you able to try running google chrome?

you might try running Spybot or Adaware just to be sure everything on the computer itself is in good shape.

Also, are you running a lot of extensions and other customization?

 

I can't stand vista. I think it is way too bloated and really isn't the operating system it could have potentially become.

 

I try to keep everything to a minimum on my computer. I just stuck with IE. I'm getting fed up with PC all together I soooo want to get an apple.

 

my fire fox works fine with vista, there's another browser almost identical to firefox called Flock... download that and see if that's any better, it could also be vista I think it sucks..
