I was serious. I do not see what he described or what you say that you
also have here.
So let us compare situations. If you give me some examples I would be
more
that happy to compare results.
There is a possibility that I just thought of and that would be
advertisements and Flash.
I use the extension named Adblock Plus. It blocks ads on web pages. I
also
use Flash Block which is user configurable to allow or block Flash by
site. Do you?
good point... I add a number of extensions that could be in play here
(from my work desktop):
adblock
adblock filterset.g updater
febe
firebug
ie tab (m$ only)
image zoom
noscript
tab mix plus
The extensions installed can vary between platforms, but those are what
I usually add on. I also use greasemonkey (for mediawiki) but saw the
problem before I started using it.
I wish I could provide an example of the problem, but I see it randomly
and (thankfully) infrequently.
As for the original question - I'd vote for Firefox over Konqueror. But
that is strickly personal opinion, it suites me. I don't have hard
facts or objective opinion in this case, just subjective preference.
...and when you get right down to it, that's usually what it boils down
to. 8^)
Like you I use more extensions than the two that I mentioned. I only
mentioned those two because I thought that they might actually pertain to
the problem that some appear to be having Firefox.
