| What kind of plugins do you have?
Nothing much. No flash, for example.
The scariest is IcedTea (Java). I don't know how to tell if Java is actually being run.
The real culprit is likely javascript -- not a plugin.
| How many tabs and windows?
Lots. 28 windows. It isn't convenient to count the tabs (I'd have to visit each of the windows and count the tabs).
28 windows, each with multiple tabs? That might be a problem ... I find Chrom{e|ium} is better at handling the tabs and Javascript, but I still prefer Firefox for the plugins. As for Java - I'd suggest removing the plugin. Java in the browser is a memory hog and a security risk, and if a page "needs" it you'll see a broken plugin sign - so you'll notice the lack. But I suspect if it's used anywhere, you'll find it's ads (on older sites). -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
