Scotian, the Skype extension update turned out to be the cause of my Firefox problems as well. Now that I recall, I did update the Skype extension a few days ago and that must have been the start of the problems. Just uninstalled it and everything is fine again. I'll edit the post accordingly. Thanks again. Thanks for the comments. Scotian, the Skype extension update turned out to be the cause of my Firefox problems as well.

During my last Skype update, a Skype extension to Firefox has been installed - without asking - that turns firefox buggy. Once this extension removed, Firefox works fine. Thank you, skype, for playing the adware game and having people throwing BS at firefox for nothing ! I just found out the reason for the issue mentionned in my previous comment.

But my other PC with firefox doesn't have this issue... I'm having trouble finding out why. I noticed too that google reader is slower than a few weeks ago on one my PC with firefox.

I too have blogged about Firefox being my preferred browser, and likewise I am REALLY fed-up with the Firefox RAM issues; it just stalls my PC too often. So, I too have switched to Chrome. The one thing I really missed was LastPass. I checked the LastPass site recently and they're not yet ready with a plugin for Chrome. Good to come across your tip, will give it a try straight away. BTW Chrome BETA 3+ is even faster and seems really stable. Ditto!!
