Flashblock works nice too, replaces flash animations with an icon that you can click on to run the animation if you wish, and of course has a whitelist for pages that you know you always want the flash to run on.

Thread ressurection time...Originally posted by Gurm View PostI'm given to understand that it works ok in "real" Netscape, but I have no firsthand experience with this. Nor with Mozilla. It's possible that the plugin just SUCKS. All I know is that on a multitude of systems with Opera and Firefox, I've witnessed it eating up ALL available system resources on a routine basis.
Add to that the fact that both Opera and Firefox are HUGE memory hogs and have MASSIVE memory leak bugs... and you have a recipe for me not using them any more.
And its a shame, because I don't LIKE IE6.
I had the 'flash animations use excessive amounts of RAM and CPU time' in Opera here recently, and I found out that it was due to opera loading multiple copies of the Flash plugin. One from Firefox, one from IE7 and one meant for opera. So I blocked the firefox one with a plugin path setting in opera, and had to delete the one located in the opera\plugins folder, as I couldn't find a way for opera not to load the copy meant for IE7 (located in windows\system32\somewhere).Comment

The only problem I have with Firefox is with it corrupting it's cache. Even better you clear the cache out and it still misloads the page. Purgefox works quite well with this problem while Ccleaner fixes it sometimes but not always. I've seen this happen on quite a few machines as well.
Oh thens the Java problem which hasn't been fixed last time I looked. However the University has changed it's Java based apps to use any Java version not just one spefic one. So it may be fixed in version two.Comment

Do you still have that problem with 2.0.0.1? They specifically fixed some corruption issues in that.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment
