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.
