Okay gents. I am getting a bit edgy with my browsing these last two days. You may remember I posted some questions about RSS feeds and how to handle them. I am still none too convinced that there is a better way for light RSS reader like me than the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder in FF. Trouble is, FF2.0 is no longer available, no updates, etc. So I finally bit the bullet, downloaded FF3 and promptly remembered why I HATED that damnable awesome bar or whatever they call it. You have to tweak some stuff just to keep your entire bookmarked content, typed addresses, and searches from coming up EVERY TIME you type anything in the address bar. Excuse me, I mean Awesome Bar. Ahem. Alright, I fought my way through some of that and was just getting around to managing my bookmarks(low and behold that is different too)and hating the way the bookmarks menu is now loaded with a LOT of tabs and labels it did not have before when I noticed something. This thing is SLOW and glitchy. I mean it. It sits there and loads and loads, and loads. My RSS feeds take a LOT longer than FF2 and the whole thing is starting to be annoying. No going back though. FF2 is dead as free lunch. So I downloaded Opera 9.6 and started in trying to figure out a way to manage the RSS mess in there. Reading forum messages like email is a PITA. I like to be able to just scroll over the feeds in folder(they cascade in a list in BTF)and only reading/loading or whatever the one you want to see. Why can't this whole RSS thing be simpler? I don't want to have to make a bunch of steps to view them. Let alone have to delete hundreds of messages per day. Grrrr. Mostly I would like a way to SPEED up FF3. Help a fellow wet shaver out here guys. This is driving me nuts.
Regards, Todd
