    duh... it sure take so long to open his firefox unless he has 2Gig of ram.

    Wow, I wonder what processing power that person utilizes. It looks like an older version of IE with so many toolbars installed and a sidebar featuring the now defunct PUSH technology by Microsoft [which was implemented into previous Windows versions]. Nice catch!

    CypherHackz: Well, I got 2GB of RAM and I have 17 extensions installed in Firefox, but it still takes ages to load :(

    Very interesting - how does he really manage to use Firefox? I am convinced that he is not able to multitask, unless he has 5GB RAM, seriously.

    I have 512MB RAM, and the only extensions I do not disable are Greasemonkey, del.icio.us and Stylish; this is to prevent it from taking 30 seconds to open and suck 100,000K RAM when I have ten tabs open.

    Steven: I guess, He did it just for the sake of hitting the digg frontpage

    When it comes to loading and memory usage, Firefox sucks big time!

    And more the extensions more the memory consumed. After my fresh install I restricted myself to very few extensions this time. Many of which should be inbuilt into the damn browser!

    you are absolutely right thilak the more extension you have the more slower Firefox loads but you know what ? Firefox 2 crashes often because of google toolbar check out what Philipp says about it <a href="you are absolutely right thilak the more extension you have the more slower Firefox loads but you know what ?

    wow, that's a lot deal. I'm thinking whether he would be using all 101 when he would be browsing the web.
