Firefox - slow saving of files? - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks, Ford Focus and Ford Cars

Just wondering, of all the other people that use Firefox, do you have any issues when saving pictures to the HD en masse? After a few save target as, all windows of Firefox grind to a halt and I have to wait a while (sometimes a minute or two) until it's ready to work again. It's kinda annoying to say the least.

Yea, I actually thought it was a windows problem but maybe not, for me it happens with everything I'm downloading, but i only have to wait 3-10 seconds not minutes, its still frustrating though.

What extensions do you have, maybe theres a conflict there?

no probs here at all. Have you upgraded to the latest version?

I'll downlong the latest one and try it out.

I'm sure it's firefox, IE doesn't do it, but I get sick of having millions of windows open.

Is there a new 1.0 build or something? otherwise I have 1.0 and still does it.

Well I had 0.9 or something, so we'll see what happens.

No problems like that here, Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 2, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Although it does get a little sluggish after a few hours if I've had lots (more then about 10) of tabs open, close Firefox and re-start it and it's back to being a rocket compared to IE for me again...
