Someone please explain to me why I'm still using Firefox

4. Well, I really think there's a heat issue or some flakiness with one of the chipsets.

It's a Dell Inspiron (I want to say 1701, but I'm too lazy to check this second). It's got to be six years old. It runs 8 gigs of memory and doing it's normal speed right now, but that's a fluke. I can't promise that tomorrow. I run Windows 7 home. I have a 1TB SSD hard drive that I put in. It's got an I5 processor and runs Windows home 7 64-bit.

I'm a software engineer with 30 years of this under my belt, so I think I do a pretty good job keeping it lean and mean and pretty cleansed from other crap. However now the delay seems to be all over the map, Internet or no, and it's BSOD more than once on clock interrupt problems. In fact, sometimes it takes 20 mins to boot, and then runs like a slug. I find that if I let it cool off for a while, it does better - the only reason I can actually answer this post. I don't know for sure, but having built computers since the 1980s, this seems like a hardware problem to me. So I'm really just trying to migrate to a different platform safely.

That said, I'm still increasingly convinced Firefox sucks. Sad to say; I've been using Mosaic since 1993, but it just ain't cutting it any more.

- Thanks
