Firefox. Using lots of resources by Terry James
I have just started to use Mozzilla Firefox. I find the screen is freezing for up to 30 secs at a time when on broadband. I am not getting the same problem with IE6. Firefox is slow loading. Is it using up my scarce resources? (W98, Pentium 11 @ 333mhz, 256K memory, USB 1.1)
