BTW do u have dial up? Cuz I haven't met anyone who said firefox was slow.
i have fios, 10 mb/sec download, 5 mb/sec upload
although all i can get is 2 mb/sec max
firefox has always been abnormally slow to load for me.
How fast is your processor? Firefox uses more processor on slower machines, but on my Quad Core gaming computer, it's actually faster than IE and Safari and uses less CPU.
i have an AMD Athlon x2 2.8 ghz, with 2 gigs of ram.
