What about "terminal unresponsiveness" in which the browser stay very unresponsive until you shut it down?

Not that either. Sorry for the short response, but I think that answers your question. It works great! You should try it :)

I've been using it -- on Linux and on OS X. I'm guessing that if I got more RAM, the "terminal unresponsiveness" would mostly go away. I've got only a gig in my old Macbook.

I don't think I've seen that in Firefox since they shunted Flash into a different process, which was a couple of years ago.

Many people actually like to blame Firefox for imaginary problems since it's not the new kid on the block anymore.

Likewise, IE9 ain't bad.

This explains that ;-)

My favorite complaint is that firefox has become slower and more bloated over time.

I'd like to see such folk browse today's web with the original version of FF... :) The average webpage today is way more complicated than 10 years ago.
