i have tried must all browser my FireFox browser keeps getting slower and slower have deleted history, still slow. i tried chrome browser. must admit to to computer smart. was to hard to figure out. can some one tell me the best fast browser. i have telephone line dsl.


could be add ons that are causing the slowdown. click on tools and goto add ons. that will show you all the modification programs that are loaded. if you have a lot that could explain the slowdown.

i always liked firefox but the latest version has a problem with
very slow performance.

what version of firefox are you running? it might be that you
have upgraded to the latest version which has a problem with
performance speed. you can google it to check it out.

if it is firefox 3.5.1 you can uninstall and go back to the previous version for a while until they fix it. control panel > remove programs > remove firefox 3.5.1 then use internet explorer to go to the mozilla firefox website to find and install firefox 3.0.12 until they resolve the issue(s)

You already use or have tried the two I like. Firefox and Goole Chrome FTW

Chrome is a fast browser.
Firefox is awsome but you really need to tweak it to make it run faster and not use up so much memory while its running, plus I noticed that add-ons do have an effect on it, try to minimize them to what you truly need.

Hope this helps, take care....

Firefox on my Linux partition, Safari on my Windows partition.

I dunno, Safari just seems more intuitive and faster to me, but it does have occasional hangups.

I've tried a good amount of the web browsers out there and I'd have to admit Chrome and Firefox are the two best in my book. I've been using Chrome lately and I've been quite happy. I like the simple interface and the fact that the menus don't take up much space since I can navigate a comp either by mouse or keyboard as needed. Also, the browsing history to the 9 most visited sites is a huge plus.

Firefox is quite similar in most regards, but as other peeps have already said, I find it slower and most of the things it does Chrome has improved on in my opinion. It still holds 2nd place in my book though followed by IE in 3rd.

I love Firefox myself. It you're on Windows though and you like the style of Chrome you might want to check out SRWare's Iron Browser.
