Hey Bryan
That post was old, but I am still seeing that FF is running slow lately. I am sure the number of Firefox plugins impact its performance. Some of them do not get updated regularly and that HAS to make a difference (and I agree that Safari is a pain – ).

This is so weird! I noticed it when I installed NewsFire, so I switched over to Google Reader…does the same thing.

I actually started using Safari more, because of the problem; which is a pain.

I agree on the memory leak idea. I hope that FF has a fix that they will issue when they do the upcoming patch releases.

I’ve had FF 2.0 up and die on me on both Mac OS (home) and WinXP (work).

I don’t use an external RSS reader – what I do think is happening though is that there’s some sort of memory leak. For instance on my Mac, if FF doesn’t die on a multimedia Web site with lots of crap on it, I have to restart it every couple of days – because it just slows down. My other apps running on my Mac don’t seem to have that issue.
