Hi people.
I realize this isn't a Fedora issue per se but I thought that being a number of people running Fedora use FF, I'd share my experience here. I do a lot of online research and it isn't uncommon for me to have 10 FF instances running with over 50 webpages (tabs) open in total.
I tried everything to speed it up. Disabling disk caching, selectively disabling various flash options, changing the graphics backends, etc. All to no avail.
Out of frustration I installed Chrome and began to use it. In doing so I completely closed all the FF instances I had open. I've done this before, but for whatever reason, this time was different.
I was using Chrome, doing some light browsing when I accidentally started a FF instance. When I did, I received a message stating that there was already a FF instance running. I aborted the startup. I ran a "ps aux | grep firefox" only to find a ghost firefox instance still running. I killed it. I then restarted FF, only to find that it is now peppy once again.
