[Solved]Firefox 3 failed opening simple webpage
Hi,
Can any one confirm that FF3 can open the following SPICE model webpage. I tried several times and every time my FF3 stop responding. System is P3, Win2000 with 512M SRAM.
I have no trouble opening it using IE6.

Thanks.

Opens fine for me on WinXP using FireFox 3.0.1
Thanks BeeBop.
I have traced the problem down to a script run by an FF extension "Video downloadhelper" which I have recently installed.

Got it open here on my aging equipment but it was a struggle. That's a lot of links for one page, it could be grouped better and spread over three or four smaller pages.
PIII 551Mhz - 320MB RAM WinXp+Sp2
Firefox/3.0.1
I've just returned to Opera after a spell of trying out Firefox 3.0.1.
To make it useable I had to install a couple of extensions (speed dial and clipings). I don't know whether it was the extensions which were to blame but I found it far too slow, Opera is much faster.
Extensions are a nice idea but they can be temperamental and some can introduce security flaws so I'd rather have a browser that does everything I want rather than having to rely on a load of buggy extensions.
I do not answer private messages asking for help because no one else can: benefit from advice I may give or correct me if I'm wrong.
Please ask on the open forum if you have a question and I'll be happy to help, if I know the answer.
Thanks again for everyone.
That webpage now opens sucessfully, albeit with a few seconds struggle, after I have uninstalled the "Videodownload helper" extension.
@Hero999,
Yes, FF3 is a bit annoying, especially it does not highlight a "https://" address in yellow which I have grown used to. I have to install an extension to get this feature back.
Another annoyance is it does not allow me to open a link in a tab as default but replaces the existing webpage window instead. I was told I can "middle" click or press "Contrl" key while clicking to get that but I do not use a three button mouse.

My Pentium 4 opened the website with Internet Explorer 7 and with Firefox 3 with no problem.
