sounds like a problem on your end, Both BlueFusion and UberNote(Stats in sig) run firefox without any issues.
 
42mb right now.. a bit long to get it open vs. IE, but just as fast once it's open I think.. I LOVE TABS now though.. meh, it's worth it.
 
Uhm, get Opera if you don't like Firefox but like things like tabs... However, I do need to point out that it's running nice and smoothly over here without halts. Mind you, I am a big Opera fan and I really don't like Firefox at all (though it's better than IE any day.)

That said, I've found Firefox to be still a lot more efficient than the later IEs. I might add that it's possible to run the latest Firefox on a Pentium 1 - 70MHz with 40MB of memory, though I can't open a lot of pages at once or anything. It still runs pretty tolerably with just two or three or so.

Mind you, Opera is definitely the most efficient out there. But, bear in mind that it has a huge market in the embedded area, so they kind of have a reason to be concentrating more than the others on that. I can't blame Firefox since they concentrate on PCs and assume your PC is > P1 with enough memory to run Windows and another program at the same time.

M Build Definitions

and do note the warnings "TRUNK builds are made from the absolute bleeding edge of the development source code and are thus likely to be unstable."

its a trial and error process, but they are optimized specifically for your hardware
if you can work through the process to a stable solution

M3 builds are highly optimized builds that also contain code optimized for the SSE2 instruction set. Given the nature of M3 builds, they are designed only for processors that support SSE2:

* AMD Opteron
* AMD Athlon FX
* AMD Athlon 64
* AMD Sempron (3100+)
* Intel Xeon
* Intel Pentium M
* Intel Pentium 4
* Intel Celeron D
* Intel Celeron (1.7GHz - 2.8GHz)

personally Im using Deer Park Alpha 2
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/

and this particular box is a 1.2GHz TBird :p
(which would be an M2 trunk build if I wasnt using Deer Park)

its possible you need to investigate tweaking your TCP settings to get optimized for dial-up , I know little about that never having had to use dialup

try changing around the configs:

Open Firefox 1.0 and in the address bar type: about:config

1. Find browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs and double click on it so it = true
2. Find network.http.pipelining and double click on it so it = true
3. Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests double click on it and change it from 4 to 100

What do these changes do?
1. Then enables advanced tab options in your Tools/Options page
2. This enables option #3.
3. This makes FF use 8 threads to each page.. Bascially, if you thought FF was fast before, try it after this.

(thank you i-hacked.com!)

i did this to mine and is is seriously hella fast. im runnin a p4 530 (3.0 Ghz) and 1 gig of pc3200
