I've been complaining about FF for about 5 years. I've had the machine
about 6 .5
years and have enough ram so that if things were coded well I shouldn't have to
worry about space requirements.
I do tend to use a lot of tabs - - - -I've had well over 300 of them
at once but lately
I don't seem to even be able to get to 50 and with piles of ram - - -
well that means
that the confluence of the kernel, graphics drivers and FF - - - its a mess imo.

I've tried reporting things quite a while ago but as the dev team just
didn't seem to
be interested and my system is a little out of the ordinary I've come
to realize that
its just a waste of time as the people responding are NOT the ones
with knowledge
of the coding and that's who needs to hear things but they don't seem
to be interested.
OH well - - - that's why I'm looking for an alternative but I'm loath
to give ms google
an easy look into my affairs!

Thanks for the ideas.
