I was hoping Google would just get on it and fix whatever was wrong right away, but this will do. I'm just loading google as a tab now for searches and using an add on for compete, alexa and pagerank monitoring. Clunky, but gets the job done for now. Thanks for the tip Evan!

My friends alienware lappy pulls 30mb down running N. Gotta get a N router and a card. The card has 3 antennas. Makes like IDK, but allot of connections to the router at once. That is the fastest machine at displaying a web page I have ever seen. Also if you are on wireless look at a N router and wireless card. My friends alienware lappy pulls 30mb down running N.

And I run a GB of RAM and on W2K in FF 3.1. The problem with FF is AJAX. Try opening a few FaceBook tabs and watch what happens. I call it the spinning wheel of death. FF compiles AJAX very poorly. Here are the solutions and they are not what you think Jack. First off, update to 3.1. 3.0 sucked. Next, look in Tools, AddOns, Plugins. No not extensions, plugins. There are three plugins that come with FF, the worst two are Microsoft DRM. Disable those. Why the hell is there a Microsoft DRM in FF? Next get a extension called Tweak Network 3.1 it is on the Mozilla site. Google it. This will fix your network TCP/IP stack and FF will run much better. Much Much Better. Next, go to Tools, options, security and uncheck the warning if attack site, and warning if suspected forgery. Way faster now. Also, get a nice fresh update of Java from the source, not the Microsoft version, the Sun version. Also turning off the Java Applet compiler will run FF faster too. I can open 200 tabs and have no problems. But then I run W2K, not that Vista crap. If MS7 does not turn Windows around, I am buying a FRAKIN MAC lappy. My buddy has a laptop like yours Jack, slow piece of junk. My 5 year old desktop is way faster and I am a web guy, not a hardware junkie at all. <abbr><em>Chris Langs last blog post..<a href="http://www.keywebdata.com/?p=147" rel="nofollow">How to Create a Google Profile for Google Social Bookmarking</a></em></abbr> My FireFox will run 50 tabs with no problem.

This causes Flock to crash upon startup. That's a pretty lame user experience, so we've disabled it. The bug has been reported to Google, and until they get to fixing it the best solution is to download the Flock 2 Beta, which is based on Firefox 3 and will run the toolbar fine (note: you may need to wait 24 hours after installing Flock 2 for the Google Toolbar to work). Plus, Flock 2 is much more performant than Flock 1, which makes it a good switch to add to your list! Evan Hamilton Flock Community Ambassador evan at flock dot com Hey Jack,
