Firefox restart

After while, firefox on my mac starts to slow down, ok I usually have a lot of tabs opened, and I use heavy extensions like firebug, greasemonkey or NoScript...

Over time I've found that the best solution I have is to just force-quit firefox, aka:

killall -9 firefox-bin

The crash manager of firefox usually allows me to restore my previous session with all that valuable tabs saved. But not always, like two minutes ago :(

Mine crashes without me touching it. It just sits there for a few days with FogBugz and the Wiki open, and eventually just bails. So annoying!

You might like to try the intel-specific build of firefox for the mac. it made a huge, unbelievable difference on my macbook. if you're using another processor, there are other versions too. the intel one is here:

I tried it but IIRC it couldn't install correctly, perhaps because I already had 2.0.0.6 installed on my mac. I'll give another shot at it when 2.0.0.6 will be ported too.

Latest gran paradiso look promising too.
