It's only with recent versions that I have noticed the problem of FF not responding. but usually if you wait long enough it eventually does. I suspect something has been changed with the way it loads webpages. also.. it you deleted FF and TB and the computer went faster that would prove it was those causing the problem. I don't see how they could make a computer slower tho when they're not running. >> We really, really need >> something fresh to come along in the browser world. > > chrome! and of course w10 will have M$ 'new' browser > -- rgds, Pete ------- "When tolerance becomes a one-way street it leads to cultural suicide" -Col.

And the way they are used has changed significantly too, that's why we need session managers and decent ways to handle bookmarks etc and plenty want a lot more configurability than we had with the dinosaurs. Stuff like what IE calls accelerators are handy too.

You could also use Pale Moon instead, very similar to the Mozilla variant, but less resource hungry. I personally have no problems with web browsers, but than I am on Linux.

Well, for me (for mail, don't use it for news) Thunderbird is anything
*but* "feature rich"!
For me it has *less* features than Outlook Express / Windows Mail, and
you can hardly call *those* "feature rich"!
When I had to switch from Windows Mail to Thunderbird (because Windows
8.1 doesn't have Windows Mail (and Windows *Live* Mail *is* indeed a
piece of crap), there was al kinds of missing basic functionality, like:
- Can not import from OE/WM. Needs an Add-on (ImportExportTools) and that
Add-on messes up your folder structure.
- A single Inbox is not a default nor a straightforward option. (Yes, it
is possible. No, it is *not* straightforward.)
- Can not monitor sending/receiving while is is happening.
- Can not set line-length for (plain) text format.
- Can not import Windows Contacts to Thunderbird Address Book (without
knowing the *exact* internal formats of both).
- Location of Message Storage is such that the OS (Windows 8.1/10) does
*not* backup those folders.
- Can not (easily) move the location of these folders.
- Can not reply to mail in a sane (plain) text format. (Only does "On
19/05/2015 23:04, Somebody wrote:", and quotes in UNIX/Usenet style
('^> '), which is very uncommon in this and last century's *mail).
Need yet another - very hard to find - Extension ('Change quote and
reply format').
- Does not use First and Last names from the Address Book. The Address
Book needs to have a 'Display Name' to get a sensible 'To:' header.
- Some stuff I (luckily) forgot.
Yes, as indicated, some of this stuff can be fixed with a lot of
research. But this basic stuff should be standard functionality or at
least not hard to find.
And to add insult to injury, most the time, one needs to use *Google*
to find a solution on some Mozilla(-related) site, because also the
Mozilla sites are anything *but* user-friendly.
So "Thunderbird by Mozilla is an excellent feature rich application"?
I don't THINK so!

Totally agree with all of that, and echos my experience.

I don't think so either, I still don't like it even though I have been
using it for quite some time.
OE has been ported to Win7+ btw, so that's an option if you miss it. I
still use it occasionally on my Win7 x64 PC.

Well, it was this one http://runasxp.com/ but it looks like they are
trying to cash in now as of the most recent version.
I have the original version here that didn't require registering or a
donation for an installation key.
The original filename was oe6multi_setup.zip

If you want a decent and free e-mail client while insisting on tying your
fortunes to the M$ platform try Pegasusmail (www.pmail.com).
Luckily on Linux you have quiet a large selection of mail clients like
Kmail, Evolution, etc.
You could also try "Opera Mail" or just pay for an "eM Client" licence.

Just seen the cpu usage jump right up with just one of those pages in use, all with Waterfox and its plugin container after leaving it running for what must have been only a few hours on Win7 64bit.
