Firefox WAS my favorite browser. lately, it seems like I am dragging an anchor when accessing gmail through it. I keep getting annoying Firefox is not responding messages. Also, in several of my many gmail accounts, I get notices that I have been signed out and have to copy whatever messages I am writing, log out, log back in again and then have to paste the message and then continue.

The first problem has gotten so prevalent and a frustrating waste of my time and energy that I am switching back to Internet Explorer. Please do share any recommendations.

Hi Bettertown47,

Sorry to hear you had such poor experiences with 8.0.1. I never had thos issues with it, but I'm sure it was frustrating. You should try 9.0.1 and see if that helps. There have been some significant improvements in speed and performance. If you are interested, just take a look at Update Firefox to the latest release for steps.

Cheers!
